Weaving Kiosk is a public space open for everyone across gender, age and professional, cultural and social backgrounds. In kiosks, weaving tools and materials are made available for anyone to use and presented together with ready designed product proposals and collection of weaving samples emphasis on the Nordic weaving traditions. Using these as an inspiration and production guidelines, participants in the Weaving Kiosk can choose to remake an example product or explore by their own choice of yarns, colors and techniques and make a product or series of textile experiments of their liking.
All products designed for Weaving Kiosk are adjusted according to the duration of each kiosk and though behind the design process is a modern take on handwoven textiles and visual expression that can be adapted by all genders.
The Weaving Kiosk is a concept created by textile designer Rosa Tolnov Clausen. During 2017-2018 it was conducted together with fashion designer Merja Hannele Ulvinen in seven different locations in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland

Kolding/Copenhagen, Denmark, 2013
REACTION . MOMENT is a womenswear collection that combines conceptual elements with ready-to-wear styles. It is inspired by the causality in reactions and moments.
The principle of causality is defined to be “the relationship between the cause and the effect”, where the effect is understood as a consequence of the cause. As I see it, in between of the cause and the effect, there is a space where something happens, something changes; a reaction takes place. For me, that same space represents a moment when reaction creates a memory. In the collection I´m looking into that space between the cause and the effect.
Through juxtaposition of shapes, materials, colours, structures and focuses on a human body, collection shows a variation of reactions. Each silhouette is at the same time telling their own independent story and being an important part of the entity.

CHILD is a mystical story inspired by the world known philosopher René Descartes and a big mechanical doll. According to the story, the doll would have been built by the philosopher to replace his dead dotter Francine. Guided by two sea creatures the audience travels through world under water, where human and the mechanical doll are twined together. They float in the air and together they dance the portrait of the imaginary reunion of Francine`s soul and her mechanical alter ego.
CHILD explores our understanding of body and soul, human and machine and our fascination to myths and science.
