The designer Nicolette Brunklaus. Born in 1959. Holds an Art degree from Academy of Art in Groningen. Has worked as a product designer since 1998. Exhibits art and design all over the world. Founder and art director of Brunklaus Amsterdam. The collection Canvas Collage is inspired by reflections on industry, just before the industrial revolution, when daily life was simple. A tiny sample of worn linen, loosely woven and faded, began Nicolette Brunklaus’ creative process of mapping textures, colours and memories. Her love of rich textile structures is obvious, and the linen sample represents a piece of industrial craft history. Today, industry and efficiency have replaced this laborious craft yet Nicolette Brunklaus utilises its nostalgia by digitising woven structures and yarn linings into soft, tactile patterns. The result is a textured canvas that is the base while layers of form, detail and colour composition create a fascinating collage. Nicolette Brunklaus’ work is tied to her own special memories that, once translated into designs, become universal. In this way, her creations personally touch the people who interact and relate to them. Canvas Collage is a continuation of this approach, creating characteristic atmospheres that are emotionally relatable and simply beautiful. 5
