CHARTS

Designer insight

“Folk art and folk costumes drive my creative

process. Besides my own Norwegian cultural

heritage, and not least my roots in northern

Norway’s culture, are the Ur-cultures from Gaia’s

northern hemisphere with which I feel a relationship

in regards to form. This includes, for example, the

Inuit, west-Siberian and Mongolian indigenous

people’s traditional garments, but also Japanese and

Chinese traditional clothing. It isn’t always materials

and ornaments but, perhaps more often, the

decorative elements which are fascinating. I wonder

over these simple, geometric forms which build

garments as one raises architectural structures.

At the same time, I have a deep respect for the

ecological where man uses resources optimally

and, for the most part, uses local raw materials.

The result is functional and beautiful garments

with the strength and quality to withstand use

for generations.” Margaretha Finseth

We recommend enlarging the

charts on a photocopier, by

200% to help with clarity.
