Sabine in 5

We sat down with Sabine to explore her innermost dreams as a designer

Whether collage, painting, tapestries or sculptures, Sabine Finkenauer exposes a minimalist world accompanied by extremely vivid colors. Apparently simple, it hides a complex synthesis process. The artist plays with the combination of elemental shapes for a well-thought-out result that enhances the beauty of the work and provides a playful aspect to her creations.When one is in front of her work, a feeling of joy and constant joviality arises.


Today, we chat with her to discover who she is and what’s behind Sabine Finkenauer.

1# A nani rug (that is not yours)Ā 

Maybe because it reminds me of some of my drawings or because I simply can't resist stripes – one of the ā€œCerasā€ rugs.Ā 

2# The iconic design object you would have liked to design.Ā 

The "Akari" lamps by Isamu Noguchi.Ā 

3# A designer or artist with whom you would like to share a dinner.Ā 

With Fien Muller and Hannes van Severen.Ā 

4# What is more valuable: the idea or the result?Ā Ā 

There are many ideas… It is the result that verifies the idea and gives it value.Ā 

5 # In the creative process, how often do you reject the first idea?Ā Ā 

The first idea is the one that starts the process, but if you are not willing to sacrifice it, it will probably lead to failure.Ā
