Fabric Forest is honored to exhibit in the foyer of Textile Fashion Center in Borås this autumn in the historic space where SKS, our parent company, operated until 2007. It was here that the "Skogens Tyg" project, in collaboration with the The Swedish School of Textiles - University of Borås, developed paper yarn into fabric - a process in which we played an active role. The exhibition highlights our full interior design concept and selected collaboration partners such as "Åter i Bruk", part of Regional utveckling VGR and Swedese. Additionally, we also present an innovative project in collaboration with two graduating students, Saga Ingerholt and Linnea Alkin, from The Swedish School of Textiles - University of Borås. This project explores the use of paper twine in saltwater for crayfish cages, demonstrating the potential of our materials to replace synthetic fibers in future fishing equipment. Special thanks to Frida Stålhandske for her valuable contributions to the exhibition's design. #fabricforest #interiordesign #textilefashioncenter #paperfabric #paperyarn #woodtextile #madeinsweden #sustainability

Thank you for your outstanding work and for organizing an excellent exhibition with textile from Fabric Forest.
In June this year STUDIO KLINGA was commissioned to design and build the entrance hall pavilion for the IUFRO World Congress 2024. Our installation highlighted wood in its various forms—from raw logs to fabric woven from paper pulp—transforming a section of the Stockholm Fair into an immersive experience to celebrate the right to roam in the Swedish forest. The two pine trees that were in the installation were re-planted at Skansen, the world’s oldest open-air museum, as a legacy of the 2024 IUFRO Congress. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to bringing this vision to life!

TEXTILE MATERIAL MADE FROM WOOD FOR THE INTERIOR We are excited to introduce Fabric Forest textiles, a new and innovative addition to the market. These versatile materials are suitable for a variety of interior applications, including cushion covers, upholstery, curtains, room dividers, and more, depending on the specific properties of each fabric. Our textiles are crafted from 100% paper sourced from Swedish trees, which are nurtured with natural rainfall and harvested from sustainably managed forests. This environmentally responsible approach ensures that our production process not only avoids contributing to deforestation but also helps reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. The core of our fabric production lies in this wood-derived textile, which is manufactured using a proprietary weaving and knitting technique. This process allows us to create a diverse range of textures and finishes, offering a unique aesthetic and tactile experience for interior design projects. · Washable · 63% lower Co2 compared to cotton · 89% lower Water Usage compared to cotton https://lnkd.in/d_5ugC9v Photo: Mikael Lundblad #fabricforest #paperfabric #paperyarn #woodtextile #curtains #madeinsweden #interiordesign #sustainability #scandinaviandesign

We have received numerous inquiries following the Craftverk exhibition at Formex, particularly about how to utilize fabric from Fabric Forest. While planning an exhibition may not be an everyday task, the results speak for themselves—these fabrics made a striking impact in the installations. Beyond exhibitions, they are ideal for room dividers, meeting room curtains, and, of course, all the products offering from Fabric Forest. More additional photos from last week's well-received exhibition at Formex, curated by STUDIO KLINGA.

Fabric Forest is part of the Exhibition “Craftverk” at Formex during August 26-28. Once again, we can present our fabric in paper yarn in a new context. Through a reworking of material from the enormous tent at the Exhibition at IUFRO Foresty Congress at Stockholmsmässan in June, we are also very proud to re-use the material. https://lnkd.in/d_5ugC9v STUDIO KLINGA who also created this entrance space wanted to highlight other creative individuals with six selections of work from local designers, artists, craftswomen and –men. STUDIO KLINGA is a design collective consisting of six recent graduates from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design. Their work spans the fields of furniture design, spatial design and interior architecture. #fabricforest #woodtextile #paperfabric #paperyarn #formex #madeinsweden #sustainability #interiordesign

Fabric Forest has been part of Swedish Forest Industries Exhibition, Skogsindustrierna, showing pillows & rugs in paper yarn, wood fibers from the Swedish forest. IUFRO World Congress is the worlds’ largest forest event, and the largest in Sweden ever. We look positively on participating in contexts where we can show how we can refine the forest with a new type of textiles. Thanks to Linda Larsson for the opportunity.
