Designs #9, #10 and #11 expand the graphic tapestry collection of her sustainable carpet label Lyk Carpet to include the new DIN A0 size and once again demonstrate the creative range that Mareike Lienau achieves by playfully combining basic geometric shapes. Mareike Lienau achieves by playfully combining basic geometric shapes. At the centre of her design process is always the exploration of the effect of structure, texture, facture and colour in space. Poster #9 is probably the most striking design among the new additions. Here, more than 10 differently woven, coloured, patterned and shaped surfaces combine to form an expressive overall composition. The tapestry is particularly eye-catching because of the deep red and purple colours and the short and long fringes. Mareike Lienau designs carpet objects and unique carpets for her label Lyk Carpet, which are hand knotted in Nepal. Her mission is to reinterpret craft and to bring it closer to young people. The superficial functionality of the She tries to radically question the superficial functionality of the carpet. Away from the rectangle Mareike wants to positive, lustful and imaginative the form & the craft, the material new, unseen and exaggerated show. Her approach asks: ‘What is contemporary about craft?‘ ,“Many people don’t really relate to products anymore. Mass production has led to today’s throwaway society. I want to contribute to raising people’s awareness, prompting them to think about products: how they are made and the resources involved; to generate values. I decided to do this through supporting the preservation of a cultural heritage, and by designing authentic objects. Contemplating and experiencing this artistic craft leads to new insights and points of view and enriches communication.With my textile posters and Pouf_Characters for example I am inviting people to ac- quaint themselves with a value creation chain, and to think about global responsibility.“
