Through her work, A Naked Truth, designer Petra Janssen, Studio Boot, offers insights into her practice. Her rug offers a soft landing to a clear message: cherish the earth and live as you love.(Venusian Collective) . She is also initiator of the social label foundation in 2014 where designing labor is the focus, making design more meaningful and involving people who fall out of society. For which she made her latest work Hart that is on show at Isola Design Gallery, a versatile colorful woven cloth full of stories about love, fear and joy. Both projects were made with Textile museum in Tilburg.

The captivating and seemingly cheerful designs by designers Ulrike Jurklies and Paul Bas of studio mo man tai address pressing issues such as global warming. With their project Re-campaign, to be launched at Isola, they tell a new story re-using supersize advertising canvasses. Through the use of several techniques and layering a text is subtly (re-)presented and the studio draws attention to new themes that deserve a “campaign”. www.momantaidesign.com Mo Man Tai Design

A HEART OF GOLD
A rollercoaster of emotions have passed through the past 10 years.From exciting beginnings with beautiful encounters, love and joy.But also with goodbyes, anger and sadness. Now we are past our fears. Especially happy for what we have all achieved and produce locally.We are proud of each other and now find the peace to celebrate this together. As part of the 10th anniversary, co-initiator and designerPetra Janssen, Studio Boot, created a design of a versatile cloth, for a smile and a tear or for practical use (wrapping or drying). She gathered her inspiration from the Social label community and the journey she took with co-initiator Simone Kramer. This journey has been translated into a colorful fabric of various feelings, lows and highs as in real life. In cooperation with the Textielmuseum. Design with a special meaning.
