SHELL. by NADINE GÖPFERT

Germany

Germany

\"Shell.\" emerged as part of the project \"Collect (ing/ion)\". As the name implies, \"Collect (ing/ion)\" is a project about the habit of collecting, in particular about the habit of collecting souvenirs. Stones and shells are commonly regarded as a very popular souvenir and can be found at a lot of places on earth.

Within this project I created an archive system that documents my found objects not only in their outer appearance but also the corresponding memories and association they evoke.

The interplay of the aesthetic, memories and association then was used as the basis for the Design on hand.
\"Shell.\" entstand innerhalb des Projekts \"Collect (ing/ion)\". Wie der Name impliziert, geht es in dem Projekt \"Collect (ing/ion)\" um die Eigenheiten des Sammelns, im genaueren um das Sammeln von Souvenirs. Steine und Muscheln werden allgemein als beliebte Souvenirs angesehen und können an vielen Orten der Welt gefunden werden.

Innerhalb dieses Projekt erstellte ich ein Archivierungssystem, welches meine gesammelten Objekte nicht nur in ihrer äußeren Erscheinung dokumentieren, sondern auch die damit verbundenen Erinnerungen und Assoziationen.
Das Zusammenspiel von der Ästhetik, der Erinnerung und den Assoziationen eines der gesammelten Objekte stellte schließlich die Basis des vorliegenden Designs dar.

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.
