Annette Meurer of Wechselstelle (Hannover)
Annette Meurer is the talent behind Wechselstelle, her amazing design studio based in Hannover, Germany. From there, she creates textiles, art, products made from silicone, and fashion.
I want everything in the above two images, the sofa (love the textile), the dog painted on the wall, the art, all of it. Love this.
Everything has a fresh, happy vibe - I absolutely love her technique, so spirited! I first discovered her at Frau Zimmer last year and have been checking her site for updates ever since. I'm hoping that someday, I'll see Wechselstelle products available somewhere online or in American boutiques because everything would fly off the shelves - seriously, her work that good.
I love the sporty illustrations, the pugs, the deliciously preppy colors, all I can say is fresh, fresh, fresh! I own a few of her silicone tiles, they look gorgeous pressed against a window where I have mine displayed, and I think I only paid $25- Euro for both. They're the size of a standard drink coaster, with vibrant colors and the best illustrations ever. Mine have a single face on them, one of a man, the other, a woman. Available as circles or squares, sold as a set of two, in a single box (see below).
Even the silicone oven mits stick to the wall, window, appliances, glass...
You can view her work here, and if you're a store owner or you simply want to inquire about her work, email Annette at kontakt{at}wechselstelle{dot}de. When I'm in Hannover again this Fall, I hope to arrange a meet-up with Annette because I'd love to see her entire collection and shop, of course!
At this time, Wechselstelle appears to only be sold at Frau Zimmer in Hannover, so if you happen to live there, lucky you!
