Textildesign

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

About the Program

Textile design is a very varied field where the material is generally not yet the finished product. It only becomes finished when other designers decorate rooms with the material, design clothes with it or use it to cover car seats. Textile design is complex but not complicated - you can touch, feel, look, smell and hear the fabric. It is both emotional and functional. The program presents conceptual challenges that have to meet practical requirements in the context of societal demands on design, involving historical references, current factors, and visionary ideas. The course requires detailed specialist knowledge in all disciplines that deal with surfaces to meet challenges in a case-specific manner.
