by Anne Birgitte Hansen
for Kvadrat
Anne Birgitte Hansen has vivid memories of growing up on the Danish Island of Bornholm and how, even as a very young girl, she started to take an interest in weaving. These stories, memories, and dreams are a significant part of her work.
Even while attending the School of Arts, Crafts, and Design in Copenhagen, she chose to occupy herself with industrially oriented design to make a living from her trade. Industrial design seemed to offer a safety net, and she had neither the desire nor the nerve only to create unique productions.
Anne Birgitte Hansen’s textile output is wide-ranging – from simple vertical lines to organic motifs and from simple, woven upholstery to printed motif-laden curtain fabrics.
