(Designer, Germany)
Sylvie Krüger comes from a family with a long tradition of producing textiles. After having studied textile design in Germany and the Netherlands she established a multidisciplinary design studio engaged in projects ranging from textile product design and textile interior design to exhibition design. For two years she managed the home textile studio of her family’s automotive and upholstery fabric weaving mill. Since 2006 she has been working as a freelance designer specialising on the use of textiles within an architectural context to solve demands concerning space, acoustics, view, sun and light. She collaborates regularly with architects as well as working for both private and commercial clients.
In 2009 she published the book Textile Architecture (Jovis Verlag GmbH, 2009). Based on the book the exhibition Textile Architecture was shown in the State Textile and Industry Museum (tim) (Augsburg, 2013), where Krüger curated the exhibition and developed the exhibition design.
Besides her projects she gives several lectures and writes articles for textile and architecture journals.
