Nanna van Blaaderen
'Since I started exploring knitting techniques a world has opened up
for me. The potential of this discipline, to create textures, structures
and shapes in various materials, seems infinite'
Nanna van Blaaderen is a textile artist from the Netherlands. Intrigued by design and textiles at an early age, she found her knitting niche during her fashion design studies. Essential to Nanna are animal life and the natural world, their influences recurring in her designs.
Okay, this is so cool.
Giant cozy knitted things, influenced by nature, and eco-friendly as well?
Count me in.
Sculptural knitwear is super appealing to me, and the balance of such strong forms with such a soft organic medium is just amazing, but the finer textures in her animal-inspired line are so organic and complex that the two seem worlds apart.
She 'blends craft, materials and innovation
to develop textiles that integrate comfort, elegance, quality and
sustainability' as her website perfectly describes.
