Plus Tekstil - Textile design
The Brukskunstkolonien PLUS in Fredrikstad was from the end of the 1950s a melting pot for various design workshops. One of the most important was the textile printing industry. Fierce and contemporary patterns were designed there. Today, they are in demand among collectors of vintage design and handicrafts.
One of the core areas of the book has been to lift the designers, mainly women, from oblivion. Finally, you can get to know people like Kari Fronth, Wenche Nyvold, Kjersti Østbø, Liv Hassel and others.
This publication is part of the award-winning book series that pays tribute to Norwegian designers who deserve a rightful place in people's consciousness. Norway has a rich design and craft culture that author Mats Linder has immersed himself in. The books are intended as an introduction to the background history and the designer's selected works.
The book has both Norwegian and English text.
