Woodstock color by Leonora Larsen

I love colours because they can bring such joy and playfulness into our everyday lives. And there for my design is inspired by the phenomenon commonly called autumn colours which is currently upon us. The leaves of the trees all around us begin to change their colour from bright green to yellow and reddish colours. The trees are preparing themselves by harvesting nourishment and energy from their leaves to survive the long and dark winter ahead. Slowly the beautiful colours of the leaves begin to fade and the leaves die. I imagine that if you cut trough the tree you would be able to see the energy and colour from the leaves between the veins of the tree giving the tree life.
Jeg elsker farver, da de vækker glæde og bringer leg ind i vores hverdag. Derfor er mit design inspireret af efterårets farver, der netop er over os. Bladene på træerne rundt omkring os begynder at ændre deres farve fra grønne til gule og rødlige farver. Træerne er ved at forberede sig ved at høste den næring og energi der er i bladene for at kunne overleve den lange og mørke vinter forude. Langsomt begynder bladenes smukke farver at falme og bladene dør. Jeg forestiller mig, at hvis man skærer ned igennem træet, vil man måske være i stand til at se den energi og farve træet har fået fra bladene imellem træets årer, som er med til at give træet liv.

About Leonora Larsen

My name is Leonora Charlotte Malabi Larsen, I'm named after the Danish King Christian the 4th's daughter Leonora Christina which was locked inside a tower for 22 year for treason against the king. I also have my mothers Pilipino name Malabi and my fathers Danish name Larsen. Besides my special name I am very interested in the world we live in and how it functions. I'm specially interested in building designs because we stay indoor almost 80-90 % of the time which makes us very dependent on buildings and the building services they provide us with. I am currently studying Architectural Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark with the hope of working with sustainable buildings and indoor climate in the future. Furthermore I love to be creative and have ever since I was little been encourage to develop my creative side which has resulted in many paintings and drawings, exhibitions, special orders and so on over the years.
Mit navn er Leonora Charlotte Malabi Larsen, jeg er opkaldt efter den danske konge Christian den 4. datter Leonora Christina, som blev låst inde i et tårn i 22 år for forræderi mod kongen. Jeg har også min mors filippinske navn Malabi og mine fars danske navn Larsen. Udover mit specielle navn er jeg meget interesseret i den verden vi lever i, og hvordan den fungerer. Jeg er specielt interesseret i bygningsdesign, fordi vi 80-90% af tiden opholder os inden døre, hvilket gør os meget afhængige af bygninger og deres funktioner. På nuværende tidspunkt studerer jeg Bygnings Design på Danmarks Tekniske Universitet i håb om at arbejde med bæredygtigt byggeri og samt energi og indeklima i fremtiden. Desuden elsker jeg at være kreativ og er lige siden jeg var lille, blevet opfordret til at udvikle min kreative side, som har resulteret i mange malerier og tegninger, udstillinger, særlige bestillinger og så videre gennem årene.

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.
