Had the pleasure to visit my old school, HDK today. Togehter with talented designer Thomas Laurien. Thomas work broad with different disciplines. Actually he was one of my teachers when I studied. Thomas was always in charge of the most interesting courses. About surfaces, wallpapers and pattern design. The textile patterns in this post is Thomas work.
Thomas has worked extensively in Japan. A couple of years ago he wrote a book, The Materiality of the Surface together with another former HDK teacher, Kristina Fridh.
Stunning patterns indeed!
Thank you Tarah,
It was great working with Elisabeth yesterday!
The pattern is hand printed in Hachioji, Japan.
There are 25 meters of each colorway.
Its really interesting to see where you spent your formative years and a glimpseof the influential people that you spent time with. It looks a fantastic space and reminds me of my old art school in Tasmania. The designs of the fabric are very beautiful.
Helen :)
Thank you Helen,
Yes the space is inspirational and belongs to HDK School of Design and Crafts at the Gothenburg University.
About being influential – I have to say that Elisabeth was very influential already as a student!
Verkligen fina trädmönster. Thomas gör speciella saker, eget.
:)
Great work! And great working space as well.
Where can I buy these fab textiles?
Thank you Valter,
I haven’t decided anything about the selling yet.
Would you be interested?
Åh, härligt, inspirerande och vackert. Kommer man kunna beskåda detta någonstans live framöver?
Tack Cissi!
Jag ska tänka ut något! :)
Och vart tar din senaste skogsglänta vägen?
Än sålänge tar den inte vägen någonstans men jag visar den i Tobex monter på möbelmässan. De ska börja sälja direkt till kund och kommer att sälja mönstret men alla rättigheter förblir mina, + att jag kan sälja av det själv och de kan trycka print on demand. I förlängningen hoppas jag på att någon köper mönstret och producerar det, men jag har inte visat det för någon än! Säljer du detta själv eller har du någon producent?
the design is perfect for a window: like looking at the bare trees in winter which shade less and allow brightness in. Very elegant. And where are they sold?
Oh, and a student like Elizabeth, among teachers who are ready for her, how great a combination that is!
Thank you Sara,
What an elegant observation, I would say!
I haven’t decided anything about the selling yet.
Would you be interested in buying?
re: purchase. I don’t know due to economic constraints, but certainly in the US there would be places to sell them. Perhaps here:
http://www.pod.bigcartel.com/
or in Portland, Oregon
https://clothandgoods.com/index.php
or even the bigger places like Design Within Reach
It looks like such a fantastic space to learn and work in! The prints are just beautiful.
Gorgeous!
p.s. And oh E…I think you would like Michel Gondry’s new film…

Spectacular work! I would love to learn how to create prints.
jag är intresserad av att köpa ett par meter av det röda, om du har för avsikt att sälja. mvh minna
Hej Minna!
Kul att du tycker om mönstret/tyget!
