Abstract [en]

Automated processes in today’s design and manufacturing landscapes often sideline traditional manual skills (Zoran, A. et al. 2015). This shift towards automation has led to a decline in craftsmanship, with machines taking over roles of artisans. This evolution has brought craft to a standstill, resulting in creations that lack warmth and a sense of humanity. However, the rise of digital technology opens up new design possibilities that bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern creation. ‘Who Gets Into My Home’ fuses craft traditions and values with contemporary material and digital innovation. It reflects an interchange between old and new, a collaboration between machines and craftsmen to produce artefacts of beauty and significance. This collection contributes to the surface textile field through a hybrid crafts perspective, highlighting the relevance of craft heritage in the digital age. The final artefacts are crafted to be vessels of memories, daydreams, and stories tied to the notion of home and domesticity.
