Not many people I know can organise their time as well as Monika. She doesn’t daydream, whine or chat, she just takes her to do list and gets it done. Monika never has to wait for her chakras to open or for happiness to knock on her door. Her career is purely and simply a result of hard work. She has been strategically planning her work for years, laying its foundation one stone at a time. Even though Monika’s greatest passion is carpets, she has also experimented with dialogues between textiles and porcelain, wood, stone, metal and concrete. Monika’s range is wide – her portfolio includes both carpets which are 3m wide and filigree silver jewellery with floral motifs, headboards for beds and wall panels, not to mention sofa covers and decorative pillows. Her innovative products follow Scandinavian aesthetics and exude feminine power. Even if she uses romantic décor and patterns, her works always have a characteristically strong presence.
