Self-Supporting 3D woven textile is a master degree work in textile design. This design program specializes in self-supporting textiles, created by a technical knowledge of hollow 3D weave in combination of textile material properties. The aim is to demonstrate by experimental design research that the textile materials do not need an external structure to become the object. The design of the woven textiles is both the supporting construction and the esthetic created in the same step of the process. That it´s created in the same step of the process argues for the work´s sustainable ambition. The chosen textile techniques explored are; to twist the yarn in a twisting machine and then weaving it in a jacquard loom. The research method of the master degree work is based on the philosopher Karl Popper. That is to identify a problem, set the hypotheses in order to solve the problem, to use practical experiments in the form of falsification attempts to see how the hypotheses work out for real. The result of this work are five woven objects that are formed by 3D woven panels that connect into each other in different ways. As design element colour is used to highlight the form and the woven layers. The chosen colours are based on complement colours and contrast colours, giving the piece nuances and highlighting details. To create this woven design, no new weaving machines are required but new construction methods, which mean that can be an aspect of sustainability to preserve the existing machinery parks in the weaving industry. Another sustainability aspect is the homogeneity of the material leading to easier recycling increasing the sustainable value of the material. The result of this work is that it’s fully possible to create a self-supporting woven textile with high aesthetical attributes given by the variety of textures and colours. The self-supporting textile attributes result from the different shrinking and mechanical properties of materials. Parts of the weave can be composed of materials that shrinks up to 40% by after treatments like heat. When these parts shrinks the other non-shrinking and stiffer parts will rise and create a three-dimensional form. Altering the materials, densities, air gaps and porosity in this multilayered spacer textile will improve the self-supporting 3D properties. The weave has a broad construction possibility in combination with the right materials. It also has lot of other qualities such as sound absorbing and light weight. Qualities that in the next step opens up for a use in the everyday life.
