Tasja Videmšek (SI): Bautepih

The inspiration for the modular carpet "Bautepih" comes from Bauhaus principles, color theories and geometric efforts, and above all from the samples of two Bauhaus representatives - Gunte Stölzl and Anni Albers. The name is a jigsaw puzzle of two words, "der Bau" (in Slovene construction) and "carpet". The carpet is made using the technique of piercing the woven lining with a tubular needle (in English "punch needle"). In order to give the carpet an embossed structure, the author used different thicknesses before and in some places filled the lines with classic embroidery. The basic guideline in designing the carpet was the grid, which ensured that the carpet elements would function as modules of one system. Their modular properties allow the carpet to be assembled into more than one composition and thus adapted to the needs of the space.
