A woven diary of The Tube
More than 80,000 visitors, 1350 registered journalists and 39 different nationalities. This is the official headcount from the Ventura Lambrate venue where Design School Kolding presented The Tube during Milan Design Week 2014.
Designer Rosa Tolnov Clausen from Design School Kolding recorded the six exhibition days at the world’s most important design event slightly differently and definitely more sensusously. She had transformed one of the Tube’s seven containers into a gigantic loom and thousands of visitors weaved story after story.
Each day a new rug weaved by different hands. A total of six rugs. Or a woven diary of the Salone. Every 30 seconds a small camera caught the process on tape. Check it out
The six rugs will be displayed in the school canteen on 22 May in connection with a visit by the Minister of Education Sofie Carsten Nielsen.
