The double weave refers to the most original property of the fabric as a space-forming principle.
This technique allows to visualize the basic elements of weaving: line, intersection and surface and to give the fabric an architectural dimension.
In the superimposition of two layers of fabric and the partial interchange of these layers, the double weave reveals spatiality.
The new series of floor rugs "- layers -" reflects the weaving process of superimposing layers of fabric.
Threads draw lines into the fabric, lines arrange themselves into surfaces, surfaces slide over each other and create spatial depth.
Layers of fabric layer and interpenetrate each other, constructing space.
The floor carpet interacts with three-dimensionality.

Line, surface, space: the basic elements of weaving reflect the architectural dimension of a fabric. Along lines, their intersection, their rhythm, surface and space are constructed. The fabric interacts with three-dimensionality. Fabric becomes architecture. Carpets in the technique of double weave refer to the space-forming elements of the horizontal and the vertical. Wool blankets and shawls play with lineature and texture. Familiar materials offer sensual haptics. Timeless design combined with traditional craft techniques give rise to objects of the highest utility.
