About Anni AlbersAnni Albers is widely considered to be the foremost textile designer of the 20th century. She made major innovations in the field of functional materials and at the same time she expanded the possibilities of single weavings and individual artworks. She was also an adventurous graphic artist who took printmaking technique into previously uncharted territory.Not only was she a pioneering textile artist, and printmaker, but she was an educator whose work redefined the boundaries between craft and fine art. She may arguably be THE person responsible for helping the masses see textile as art, not just craft. She studied at the Bauhaus, taught at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where she continued to push the limits of weaving, experimenting with unconventional materials and techniques. Her book On Weaving (1965) remains a seminal text in textile design.

Marian Bantjes is a Canadian designer, typographer, illustrator and writer working internationally from her base on a small island near Vancouver. Marian explains us why she dropped out of art school after one year. How she regrets this decision and how she believes it’s important to have a proper education in design. Marian likes to do things herself and therefore doesn’t like being art directed too heavily. This shuts down her creative process. The more freedom she has the better the work is. We wonder how projects like the wooden folding chairs for Droog and the Laser Sailboat for Wallpaper come about. The project for Droog for example, was an unusual experience for her and the first time that she didn’t actually physically put her hands on the work that was been made. Furthermore we talk about how she started on her own and how the writing for the ‘Speak Up’ blog is related to this. We end the interview with the recently published book ‘I wonder’ and her plans for the future. Recorded at the ATypI 2010 conference in Dublin, Ireland.
