The Modern Nomad - Life from a Suitcase
University of Borås, Faculty of Textiles, Engineering and Business.
2024 (English)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis [Artistic work]
Abstract [en]

In an era marked by increasing international mobility and urbanization, the modern nomad emerges, forsaking the known for the unknown and condensing possessions to the volume of a suitcase. Drawing from Capsule Systems in Architecture and interior design, principles are refined to craft a wardrobe capable of accommodating all necessities within a single suitcase. This project explores minimalist living without compromising on style or self-expression. Transformable garments with elegant silhouettes redefine conventional functional aesthetics, while ways are explored how things can be carried and made packable. A layering system is implemented, featuring a base “Homewear” layer that incorporates objects evoking a sense of home and nostalgia through print designs, enveloping the nomad in comfort. The outer shell comprises functional transformable garments serving as both accessories and clothing. The project results in five examples each of the “Homewear” Layer and the transformable “outer shell” layer. The project suggests a conceptual framework of a minimalistic way of living.
