Adapt knitting techniques to design contemporary furniture

Abstract

Most of us remember or saw a skilled relative knitting something for someone in the family, and she was patiently weaving row after row with the certainty of wonderful results. This childhood memory inspired many to reinterpret this form of repetition in our modern environment, specifically in the field of interior design. The colors, textures, and contours of all these elements contribute more to creating a warm residential environment that links childhood memories with modern society. Mixing modern interior design ideas with homemade crafts, or inspired by knitting fabric, creates stunning trends in furniture and accessories design, allowing living spaces to be transformed into truly unique rooms with knitting-inspired details. This research includes ideas and designs translated by the researcher through an exhibition linking furniture and knitting to bring warmth and comfort to modern interior design. Also, this research clarified that the expression of beauty lies in the researchers ’desire to discover the concept of beauty in ways different from what has been used to it, whether in the field of interior design or fabric design. Unique creative art adds charm to the place. An experimental approach was used with a descriptive approach to reach the goal of linking hand weaving and furniture design. The importance of research shows in highlighting the aesthetic value of woven furniture and the researcher's role in renewing the appearance of furniture and accessories using the art of knitting. The knitted industry in the world has developed remarkably and there has been great progress in the technology of manufacturing woven fabrics, which has been popular in recent years due to the properties and advantages that made it superior to that of other textile fabrics.
