The box of dreams<br />
The box of dreams<br />
young self-made woman looks a little like<br />
an outer-space creation herself – Leeloo,<br />
perhaps, played by Milla Jovovich in the<br />
sci-fi movie “The Fifth Element”.<br />
From classroom to<br />
boardroom<br />
Nadja had been training as a photographer<br />
at the Zurich University of the Arts when, in<br />
2011, she was required to find a theme for<br />
her bachelor’s project. She chose carpets,<br />
seeing them as a way to apply her visual<br />
work to something new using state-of-theart<br />
technologies. She already had a subject,<br />
too: she had been fascinated by space since<br />
high school, where an inspirational physics<br />
teacher had aroused her interest by using<br />
the sunlight streaming into the classroom<br />
and the airborne dust particles it illuminated<br />
to illustrate the infinitesimal cosmic<br />
smallness of our own Blue Planet.<br />
Ever since, Nadja has been transfixed by<br />
the sheer scale and scope of the secrets of<br />
the universe that humanity would never be<br />
able to uncover. And when she drew on<br />
her fascination with space to create her<br />
first carpet, “Nebula”, the response was<br />
overwhelming. Everybody wanted one.<br />
She promptly founded a start-up with<br />
fellow student David Schönen: Schönstaub,<br />
a blend of their two surnames. David<br />
left after a year; but in her new partner<br />
Ste phanie Aebischer, Nadja has a professional<br />
interior decorator on board. And<br />
while Nadja serves as art director and provides<br />
the designs, 33-year-old Stephanie<br />
focuses on the commercial side of things.<br />
“We even have a Schönstaub hanging in<br />
the Lesser Antilles, on the wall of a café on<br />
Bonaire Island,” Stephanie says with pride.<br />
“And our oldest customer is a lady of 94!”<br />
In parallel to Schönstaub, Nadja continues<br />
to earn her living from photography<br />
and a further key passion: working as a<br />
DJane at parties and clubs. So while her<br />
carpets magically bring the heavens to<br />
earth, her sounds help her audiences<br />
escape their terrestrial toils …<br />
