Textile sculptures

  • • Sandra loves bright colours and strong contrasts
  • • She previously worked for the Goethe Institute
  • • Her works explore a dialogue with space

Sandra Schollmeyer is a textile and set designer in Hamburg. Her product design studies began in Kahlsruhe, where she was granted a scholarship to study at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome for two semesters. Upon returning to Germany, she enrolled in Textile Design at the HfbK in Hamburg, immersing herself in all textile techniques, such as tufting, weaving, screen printing and dyeing. After a semester, Sandra realised she could achieve a lot with her hands. Alongside her applied work and design activities, Sandra is interested in textile research and development. She worked as a project manager, consultant and researcher for the Goethe-Institute in Bangkok and Indonesia on the three-year regional project IKAT/eCut. The project explored the past, present and future of textiles in southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand between tradition, technology, art and design.

The colour scheme of this handwoven wall decoration is inspired by a haute couture dress. From the inside out, midnight blue, azure blue, emerald green and bright pink are boldly strung together. To keep the focus on the colours, the surface design is in an even rhythm.
