POST-ITS by Vina Domingo

As a designer and artist, I work a lot with paper, be it for sketching or compiling ideas. Sometimes I use small pads (like Post-it notes) because it is convenient to just put them on a board or wall and set them up like a mind map where I can see or visualize idea relationships and other connections clearer. It is very easy to move them around. At first it looks chaotic but eventually, it works. This carpet design I made echoes these pieces of multi-colored papers on a board (or on a floor), a homage to this "brainstorming" process. The carpet is machine-knotted using 4-5 colors for the "paper" squares and one color for the background and measures 2 x 3 meters. It is a simple design with subdued colors but still looking very dynamic, a good accent for modern interiors.



Bilang isang manlilikha ng disenyo ng mga produkto at pintor, malimit akong gumagamit ng papel kung saan inilalagay ko ang aking mga dibuho o isinusulat ang aking mga ideya. Malaki ang tulong ng paggamit ng "Post-it notes" dahil sa madali itong ilagay sa pader at ayusin upang bigyan ng linaw ang mga konseptong nakasulat tulad ng paggawa ng isang "mind map." Madali silang ipag-lipat-lipat at sa umpisa, ito ay mukhang magulo pero dahil sa mas makikita ang relasyon ng mga konsepto, ito ay magiging maayos at mauunawaan sa huli. Ang disenyo ng karpet na ginawa ko ay isang simbolo ng "brainstorming" na paraan sa pamamagitan ng papel. Ito ay may 4-5 kulay para sa "papel" na kwadrado at isang kulay para sa "base", at may sukat na 2 x 3 metro. Ito ay isang simpleng disenyo, tahimik na mga kulay ngunit mukhang may aksyon, angkop sa modernong tahanan.

About Vina Domingo

I am a full-time product designer and part-time artist but sometimes the line can get blurried. I love to make functional and market-oriented product designs and at the same time the artist in me enhances them, as a form of self expression. I think it is a great mix of both worlds. I have worked in fourteen countries, especially in Asia, where I was very active in fair trade and sustainable design. On some occasions, I also had the opportunity to design carpets, rugs, and mats in different materials. I come from the Philippines and I now live in the USA.

Ang aking propesyon ay isang "designer" ng mga produkto at paminsan-minsan ay nagpipinta. Ngunit minsan, hindi maiiwasan na pagsamahin ang pag-disenyo at pagiging artistiko ang aking ginagawa. Importante sa akin na gumawa ng produkto na praktikal at bebenta sa komersyal na merkado ngunit ang aking pagiging pintor ay nakakatulong din upang bigyan ng kahulugan ang aking gawain bilang sariling pagpapahayag. Sa aking palagay, ito ay isang magandang paghahalo ng ideya. Bilang isang "designer", ako ay nakapagtrabaho sa 14 na bansa, lalong-lao na sa mga organisasyon ng "fair trade" at "sustainable design". Minsan ay nakapagdisenyo na rin ako ng mga karpet, "rugs", at "mats" na gumagamit ng iba't-ibang materyales. Ako ay galing sa Pilipinas at nakatira ngayon sa USA.

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.
