”Swedish designer Camilla Diedrich may look like an anarchist, but she thinks like an architect. One of the first designers to start cutting holes in textiles and structuring them in terms of negative space, Diedrich’s talent imbues her works with the transparency, texture and robustness more typical of a building façade than a fabric lenght. Her work transforms flat surfaces into richly-textured, three-dimensional forms that challenge conventional ideas of what a textile should be.’
