2026 DesignTO Festival Installation at Swipe
- Posted on
From January 23 - February 8 for DesignTO Festival 2026, we will be hosting Embroidered Colour Palette a window installation by Laura Carwardine. Laura has created colourful embroidered ovals which were digitally fabricated and then hand stitched with rope using needlepoint techniques. These ovals are a physical exploration of Laura’s interests in both colour palettes and magnified embroidery.
Please join us on January 24 from 4:00pm - 6:00pm for the reception for this window installation. For more information please refer to DesignTO's website here.
Laura Carwardine is an industrial designer and textile artist who has worked in industrial design, interior design, and retail design. In her independent textile practice, Laura focuses on using embroidery techniques in playful ways and at a magnified scale to make the details more visible. The tactility, colours, patterns, and textures make embroidery a rich resource to draw from and a very satisfying medium to work with. Laura also runs the Instagram account @thiscolourpalette which documents colour palettes found in everyday life through organic, hand-drawn dot shapes.
