Claire-Anne Obrien is a textile designer specialising in knitting. Originally from Ireland she has recently graduated from the Royal College of Art. Her work plays with technique and scale creating playful and tactile fabrics for interiors. This sculptural approach to textiles brings fabrics to life in three dimensions through form exploration and furniture. 

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. Lambs wool and Sheeps wool, in a mix of hand and machine knit stitches, are constructed into playful statement pieces.
