The often-overlooked story of the importance of fabric printing in Danish modernism and its relevance today
Fabric printing has played a significant role in defining the internationally renovned Danish modernism. Beyond playing with colours and repeating motifs, the tradition also gives room to poetry and humour. The techniques of fabric printing allows for the creation of a great variety of patterns and motifs on woven textiles. The innumerable possibilities are evident on many everyday items, from clothing to furniture. This book tells the story of the diversity of the craft and its significance in Danish modernism - a topic that has never before been explored in its entirety. The book is based on the extensive collection of printed fabrics from Designmuseum Danmark, as well as new works by contemporary textile artists.
