Aleksi by Eveliina Hamari

Finland

Finland

This design is named after my brother Aleksi. Aleksi is dreamy, calm and close to nature. Being close to nature is especially something that I wanted to capture in this design. The shapes are organic, flowing and living in their own ways. The design is originally based on a watercolor sketch.
Tämä design on nimetty veljeni Aleksin mukaan. Aleksi on luonteeltaan haaveileva, rauhallinen ja luonnonläheinen. Luonnonläheisyys on erityisesti piirre, jonka halusin välittyvän designistani. Muodot ovat orgaanisia, soljuvia ​​ja kulkevat omia reittejään. Tämä design perustuu alun perin akvarelliluonnokseen.

About Eveliina Hamari

I observe our visual cultures as a designer and artist but also through the lens of my inner child. At the moment I am studying Textile Design at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki. Earlier I have also studied Visual Culture Studies and Art Pedagogy.

Sensibility and emotionality are always guiding my design process and I aim to channel them through my work. My design philosophy is based on the idea that beauty can be found in imperfection. I enjoy to create playful and courageous shapes by using artistic and handicraft methods.

My main interests at the moment are speed painting flowers, 1970s fashion and making homemade soaps. Experiences and memories of nature and changing seasons are my endless source of new ideas.
Havainnoin ja tulkitsen visuaalista kulttuuriamme sekä; muotoilijana että taiteilijana, mutta myös sisäisen lapseni kautta. Opiskelen tekstiilisuunnittelua Metropolia ammattikorkeakoulussa Helsingissä. Edeltävät opintoni keskittyivät visuaalisen kulttuurin tutkimukseen sekä taidekasvatukseen.

Herkkyydellä ja emotionaalisuudella on aina merkittävä rooli suunnitteluprosessiani ohjaavina voimina ja toivon sen välittyvän työstäni myös ulospäin. Design-filosofiani perustuu ajatukselle, että kauneuden voi löytää epätäydellisyydestä. Nautin luoda leikkisiä ja rohkeita muotoja taiteellisin metodein ja käsin tehden.

Tällä hetkellä minua kiinnostavat ja inspiroivat vauhdikkaat kukkamaalaukset, 1970-luvun muoti ja itsetehdyn saippuan valmistaminen. Luontoon ja vaihtuviin vuodenaikoihin liittyvät kokemukset ja muistot ovat ehtymätön ideapankkini.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
