Background
"I love working with colors and pattern development, both to challenge myself with what I can do, but also to challenge the viewer with what beauty and balance mean."
Environmentally friendly alternative to chemical dyeing
Using remnants of raw wool from sheep farmers in Southern Jutland and kitchen waste such as avocado and onion skins, the designer has worked with plant dyeing as an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical dyeing. Based on numerous color experiments and computer technology, she has created a series of carpet patterns for Ege Carpets, where symmetry and bold forms exude balance and hope for a more sustainable textile industry with less waste and the use of gentle dyeing methods.
