Chinese horse I by Mateja Skofic & Irena Gubanc

Slovenia

Slovenia

The inspiration for the design came from the Chinese horoscope. The carpet has a motive of a horse, in which the Oriental and Westeren culture are combined. It has a modern design with a touch of mystique.
Navdih za oblikovanje sva dobili v kitajskem horoskopu. Na preprogi je motiv konja, v katerem se prepletata orientalska in zahodna kultura. Ima modern “design” z pridihom mističnosti.

About Mateja Skofic & Irena Gubanc

Irena Gubanc, lives and works in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. In 2001, she graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts (department of visual communication), in the field of corporate identity and museum Exhibition posters.

She is also a member of the Designers Society of Slovenia.
Mateja Škofič is also from Ljubljana (Slovenia). She is finishing her master`s degree from Graphic and interactive communication at Faculty of natural Sciences and Engineering in Ljubljana.
The designers started working together in 2009 when Mateja joined Irena to work with her on a project from which many other followed. From designing postal stamps, logotypes, corporal identities, posters, brochures, books, to designing exhibitions and interactive media. Beside graphic design the designers are working a large amount on Illustration with the emphasis on vector Illustration which also reflects in their designs.
They frequently participate and exhibit in Slovene and international graphic shows and competitions where they also received awards.
Because there was an increasing amount of joint projects and good collaboration they decided to start their own studio which they named Padalci (Parachutists).
Irena Gubanc živi in ustvarja v Ljubljani. Leta 2001 je diplomirala na Akademiji za likovno umetnost v Ljubljani na oddelku za vizualne komunikacije, iz področja celostne grafične podobe in muzejskih plakatov. Po končani diplomi je delala v oblikovalskih agencijah. Sedaj je samostojna oblikovalka in ilustratorka s statusom pri Ministrstvu za kulturo. Je tudi članica društva oblikovalcev Slovenije (DOS).
Mateja Škofič je prav tako iz Ljubljane. Je absolventka magistrskega študija grafičnih in interaktivnih komunikacij na Naravoslovnotehniški fakulteti v Ljubljani.
Oblikovalki sta začeli skupaj ustvarjati leta 2009, ko je Irena povabila Matejo k projektnemu sodelovanju, kateremu je sledilo še veliko drugih oblikovalskih projektov. Tako sta skupaj ustvarjali od poštnih znamk, logotipov, celostnih podob, plakatov, tiskanih publikacij do razstav in interaktivnih medijev. Poleg oblikovanja se avtorici posvečata tudi ilustraciji, s poudarkom na vektorski ilustraciji. S svojimi deli se uvrščata na slovenske in mednarodne bienale, za katera sta prejeli tudi nagrade.
Zaradi vse več skupnih projektov in dobrega sodelovanja, sta se letos odločili ustanoviti lastni studio Padalci.

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.
