Platz da! Die riesigen<br />

Schönstaub-Frotteetücher<br />

Sand ahoy! Schönstaub also<br />

offers a range of giant<br />

towels to brighten any beach.<br />

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 />
