Designers’ Profile: Liset Van Der Scheer. (Art Direction and design) From 1979 onwards, has worked as an industrial textile designer and colour consultant. For the past 9 years she has particularly specialised in carpet design. She has applied the years of experiene she gained as a yarn designer, first for knitting yarns and later for the carpet industry, to her carpet designs. She wants to further the expressiveness of yarn. The challenge of working with textiles for her was to be found in the application of mostly traditional materials in innovative ways or the use new material in the existing production processes. In this way she sought to extend the limits of possibility. Traditionally seen, the changes in textile were achieved through the variation of pattern, structure and coluor. This approach did not satisfy her completely. She wanted to examine the limits by using new and for the most part unusual raw materials and existing or newly designed yarns in a totally different way. In her designs she looks for the interactive influence between colours. Colour is independent on combination, structure, and the space in which a colour is located as well. Each colour also has its own strength of which a colour is started as a colourist with a textile printer. Over a period of 2 years she has produced more than 500 colour patterns, and observing colour has become second nature to her. Discovering the right relationship and that unique combination, is a matter of intuition for her, there are ultimately no words to describe this.
