Winter by Rikke Mikaelsen

Denmark

Denmark

I made the winter motive with its cold expression and sharp edges as a contrast to the soft, warm materials in the carpet. A beautiful image of raw and wild nature.
It makes me think of how grateful I am, being born in a time, where winter is no longer a question of survival, but more a question if my carpet will survive another season of my kids dirty winter boots, which they forgot to take of in the hall.
Jeg lavede vinter motivet med dets kolde udtryk og skarpe kanter, som kontrast til tæppets varme og bløde materialer. Et smukt grafisk billede af rå, vild natur.
Jeg tænker på hvor taknemlig jeg er, for at være født i en tid, hvor vinteren ikke længere er spørgsmål om overlevelse, men mere et spørgsmål om mit tæppe i endnu en sæson kan overleve mine børns beskidte vinterstøvler, som de i farten glemte at tage af ude i gangen.

About Rikke Mikaelsen

My name is Rikke Arentoft. I am a graphic designer living in Denmark. In 2007 I finished my MA at the School of Design in Kolding. Afterwards I specialized in films doing storytellings and visual effects. I have worked at Sunday Studio, Århus and Prime Focus, London as a CG artist. Now I am freelancing and live in Copenhagen with my husband and our two girls.

I always seek the god story in my work, and when design or a beautiful piece of work evokes my emotions and thoughts, I get happy and inspired. It is fantastic when capable people makes an effort.
Mit navn er Rikke Arentoft. Jeg er grafisk designer og bor i Danmark. I 2007 færdiggjorde jeg min MA på Designskolen Kolding. Sidenhen har jeg hovedsageligt beskæftiget mig med storytelling og visuelle effekter på film. Jeg har arbejdet hos Sunday Studio, Århus og Prime Focus London som CG designer, men er nu freelance og bor i København med min mand og mine to piger.

Jeg søger altid den gode historie i mit arbejde, og når jeg i hverdagen møder design eller smukt udført arbejde, som taler til både følelser og tanker, og får mig til at stoppe op og betragte, bliver jeg glad og inspireret. Det er fantastisk når dygtige folk gør sig umage.

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.
