7DAYS7DAYS is a series with seven sets of bed linen, each named after one of the seven days of the week. The seven sets each carry one of seven prints of a pillow and a blanket. 7DAYS is a concept that aims to tell the story from everyday life. The images of the seven blankets and pillows come from Dorte Agergaard’s documentary study of the unmade bed in morning. The linen is made in 100% cotton satin with digital prints. |
Dorte Agergaard
b. 1973, Danish Designer
Dorte Agergaard graduated in 2003 from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, graphic design studies, and in 2007 from Designskolen Kolding, textile design studies. Dorte Agergaard’s efforts to transplant one reality to another take place via photography and digital prints where she moves everyday objects around and places them in novel contexts. She plays with everyday reality and our perception of normalcy as she draws inspiration from the world around us. Her conceptual method with photographic prints that are transplanted to a new context lets her reproduce reality in a new environment, which often lends her works a humorous or surprising quality. Dorte Agergaard’s textile works have seen increasing exposure in recent years. Her exhibitions have included “100% Futures” during “100% Design” in London in 2007 and “MINDCRAFT” with Danish Crafts in Milan in April, 2008. She was recently nominated for the home design magazine Bolig Magasinet’s Design Award 2009 in the category “Upcoming Designer”. | By same artist: |
