You are warmly welcome to listen to a conversation between Kristina Torsson and Rebecca Josefsson Ulvling about Swedish textiles – from Mah-Jong and Vamlingbolaget to today’s efforts to re-establish a local industry, with wool as a central resource. Torsson and Josefsson Ulvling explore why quality, craftsmanship, and Swedish production matter both historically and for the future of fashion.
Kristina Torsson is an artist and designer with more than six decades of work behind her. Torsson’s practice is characterized by a pursuit of anti-fashion – durable garments for women, men, and children, created in high-quality materials that stand the test of time. She works on a small scale with strong commitment to sustainability and the future of the Swedish textile industry.
Rebecca Josefsson Ulvling is a textile engineer and founder of Swedish Textile AB, a company that manufactures fabrics and yarns from Swedish wool with full transparency and minimal climate impact. Josefsson Ulvling is driven by a vision to create a sustainable and circular value chain for Swedish wool – from collection and grading to spinning and final production. Through Swedish Textile, she has developed collections that combine the natural properties of wool with timeless design and functionality.
