"We wanted to work with Holma Helsinki yarns because they offer an impressive color palette that gives us a lot of freedom in our projects. The local production is also an important factor for us - we value the proximity to the manufacturing and the genuine craft tradition. We especially love that the yarn is dyed directly at the factory, which gives a unique sense of quality and care. Sustainability is a central part of our work, and by using your yarn we can contribute to more responsible production while passing on the rich textile heritage of Nordic culture."
INTERWOVEN CULTURES (project description)
Interwoven Cultures is a collaborative research project between designer and researcher Mari Koppanen and textile designer and hand weaver Estelle Bourdet.
Bringing together hand weaving in linen and bacterial cellulose, the project explores how and where traditional craftsmanship intersects with material innovation.
Drawing on our combined expertise, we have developed a range of delicate bio-textiles that blend traditional techniques with future material possibilities.
