Playful by Linn Westanbäck

Sweden

Sweden

My aim is to generate a feeling of happiness. Playing with lines forming graphic elements in two levels where I have worked with balance by using the interchange between the hard and soft in shape and color. Straight, simple fields of white and light gray constructs a neutral base which provides the space and the courage to paint the upper layer contours significant black. A soft design idiom to achieve balance using the ink-like path and a pleasing green color adds additional life. This carpet demands its room and makes no apologies, without, for that matter, overshadowing furniture and paintings. A carpet with balanced confidence and great sense of humor.
Fokus ligger på att frambringa en glad känsla. En lek med linjer bildar grafiska element i två nivåer där jag har jobbat med balansen genom att växeldra mellan det hårda och mjuka i form och färg. Raka, enkla fält i vitt och ljusgrått utgör en neutral botten vilket ger utrymme och modet att måla det övre lagrets konturer markant svarta. För att balansera upp används ett mjukt formspråk på den tuschliknande banan och en behaglig grön färg ger ytterligare liv. Denna matta tar plats, den ber inte om ursäkt att den finns utan att för den delen ta över fokus från möblemang och tavlor. En matta med balanserat självförtroende och härlig humor.

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.
