We are thrilled to announce Leonie Burkhardt as the winner of our Circular Wool Lab Open Call!

Leonie is a textile designer and artist based in Göteborg, currently a PhD candidate at the Swedish School of Textiles. She is passionate about exploring the craft of weaving and pushing its limits through digital tools. Her work blends textile and object, emphasizing material compositions, rich textures, and vibrant colors.

Leonie’s project, Woven Space, explores wool’s potential as an adaptive and spatial material. At the TC2 Circular Wool Residency, she will experiment with 3D weaving to create flexible, woven structures for textile-based housing—an innovative take on soft architecture.
We can’t wait to see the exciting outcomes of her work!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the call, we had to go through over 280 applications and had to make difficult decisions among many strong candidates - your creativity continues to inspire us.

This project is supported by the European Union (Next Generation EU) and Ministero della Cultura.
