Swedish textile designer Boel Andersson is a graduate of the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Sweden.

Andersson’s graduation project Tak began as a study of the ceiling and its functions that are often hidden: ventilation pipes, electric cables and sound-absorption plates.

‘My work aims to reconquer the ceiling,’ Andersson says. ‘A 3D textile affects the room by absorbing sound and spreading light.’

The textile is made of a polyester-like paper, which was laser cut into stripes then woven together with seams. When the textile rests on the ground it’s completely flat, but when it’s lifted it creates a 3D pattern.

‘A simple geometric shape becomes something very complex and organic when repeated,’ Andersson says.
