Linear light is a project that explores how to create linear structures within knitting and how they relate to primary forms. Adding variation in colour and density to create textiles that change expression with the lighting conditions. The idea of the project is rooted in the search for alternative ways of creating zero waste objects for interior design. This collection consists of six objects grouped into three categories that treats knitted structures, light, form and lines in their own way. The categories are the cone, the sphere and the tube. They are categorized by the primary form that they are based on and defined by their specific textile properties.
