Our programme in Textile Design can take you further than you imagined. The Swedish School of Textiles, specialising in textile design, provides a forward-looking environment for rethinking and creating textiles within its expanded field, including Textile Craft, New Materiality, Innovation, and Digital Specialisms. It delves deep into the most relevant subjects and skills required for a career in the textile industry and related industries.

Clothes and body-related artefacts can be active, responsive, protective, or supportive in human actions and activities. In this way, clothes can play a central role in various types of body-based activities, human performances, and interactions with the environment. Specialising in Performance Wear at the Swedish School of Textiles involves exploring and developing apparel that can perform – act and interact – in relation to various human activities and performances in outdoor, sports, work, or artistic contexts, considering a wide range of perspectives, including environmental, ethical, technical, and cultural factors.

Specialising in Textile Interaction Design involves exploring and developing textiles that interact with and adapt to their surroundings as well as to bodies, actions, humans, and other species. This specialisation delves into questions and issues related to textile interaction from a wide range of perspectives, including environmental, ethical, technical, and cultural considerations.
