365

Die norwegische Designerin Siren Elise Wilhelmsen entwickelt neue Konzepte für Produkte, Möbel und Installationen. Ihr Ziel ist, funktionelles und nachhaltiges Design mit Persönlichkeit und Humor zu schaffen; Dinge, die eine neue Art der Interaktion zwischen dem Menschen und seiner Umgebung ermöglichen.
Die strickende Wanduhr "365 Knitting Clock" veranschaulicht, wie die Zeit vergeht. Sie strickt 24 Stunden am Tag - produziert jede halbe Stunde eine Masche, jeden Tag eine Runde, und binnen eines Jahres hat sie einen zwei Meter langen Schal produziert.


The Norwegian designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen is creating new concepts for products, furniture and installations. Her aim is to make functional and sustainable design with personality and humour; products that challenge the meeting between man and his surroundings and that offer a new kind of interaction with them. 
"365 Knitting Clock" is stitching the time as it passes by. It is knitting 24 hours a day. Moving in clockwise direction, one day leads to a complete round, after 365 days the clock has turned the passed year into a 2-m long scarf.

"I didn't think I was a bad painter, but I didn't feel like I could add anything different. I started sewing just to make a different-looking mark and find a voice that was mine. It really opened up something for me and was a catalyst for me," she says. 
"For me, the way I embroider is really like painting. And it's interesting because I feel like part of my attraction to fabric is an attraction to color and texture and a way to enter the language of painting."

Quilling

Yulia Brodskaya liebt Papier. Und sie hat ihre ganz eigene Art das zu zeigen. Sie rollt unzählige Papierstreifen, ordnet sie zu Motiven und klebt sie fest. Quilling nennt man diese Technik. Und bei Yulia entstehen so aufwendige Kunstwerke, beeindruckende Kombinationen aus Typographie, Papier und detailierter Handarbeit.

Yulia Brodskaya loves paper. The technique she's using so intensively is called quilling - it involves the use of strips of paper that can be rolled, shaped, and glued to the background. Her artwork is bringing together all the things she likes most: typography, paper, and highly detailed handmade craft objects.
