THE ROOM MAGIC

Textile artists Merle Suurkask and Einike Soosaar, who have graduated from the Estonian Art Academy, have created a new trade mark of design textiles that is meant for a person, who values ecological way of thinking, high quality , professional design, cosyness and personality.
 
Ideology and conception of the designers at creation of the interior textiles is well illustrated by the exhibition \"The Room Magic\", consisting of 8 carpets, that is openend on October 29 in the Haus Gallery.
 
Textile - being close to the body and home - carries in itself a message of longing for security, closeness, touching. Miniature wall tapestries, being exposed at the exhibition, depict rooms, where the time has stopped.
 
These are like flashbacks of memory pictures, the story following them is different in each case because of the influence of the personal experience of each viewer. To each story telling room picture belongs as a \"flying carpet\" a real, touchable wall carpet. The imaginary changes into reality and vice versa.
 
Proceeding from the essential idea of interior textiles - to offer integral solutions, also this current exhibition is an ensemble, all elements of which - the material, format, colour harmony and installing method have been chosen according to the principle of creating the integer.
 
Designers of the \"Magic Textile\" want to create emotional objects which also touch the soul. Because of that all the textiles are hand-made and in the human format. One should not expect from the \"Magic Textile\" large floor covers or only decorative details, but rather items that create in the room subtle accents and sensual mood. Floor, bed, window, pillow or table covers of simple design, being made of natural materials, are especially effective while one is near them, essential is to feel the softness and to smell the scent of lamb wool, the harshness of yarns of the texture.
 
On such a carpet it is lovely to sit together with friends in front of a fireplace or while being on one\'s own to practice yoga. Even though the studio of the \"Magic Textile\" is located in the centre of Tallinn, in a former production facility, the artists themselves live outside the city. Harmony and peace of the nature and slower rhythm of life has also influenced the designed items.
