Textile designer Claire-Anne O’Brien is a specialist in knitting, making furniture that makes a feature out of the soft textures of lamb and sheeps wool.
Originally from Ireland she graduated from the Royal College of Art with a Masters in Textiles, playing with technique and scale to craft tactile fabrics for the home. Inspired by elements of the knitted stitch itself such as rings and loops, the structures are revealed and celebrated through exaggerated scale in bold and textured forms.
Chair commissioned for British Wool Week October 2010
