Pillowcase.
The Arabic word 'night' 1001 times printed on a cotton pillowcase.

: "One Thousand and One Nights" is the most famous and well known tale from the Arabic world. It symbolizes the mystery and beauty of the Arab World. So I took it literally and made an typographic translation of it.

: (El) Hema = massproduction and feelgood products Hema also want to be 'arty' in a way, they gave art student the oportunity to make Hema-design. I think this product fits in perfectly. But has an Arabic touch.

: In fact the 'ordinary' Hema customers and people who are inetresetd in the Arab culture and Arab people witch an modern view.

: I was sleeping in my bed and suddenly I had this idea, so I went out of bed to wrote it down... I used a selfmade font which already existed before I desigden this pillowcase.

: Cotton pillowcase size: 60 x 50 cm Silk-screen print (Zeefdruk, Dutch) But if there's an other way to print on cotton, is fine as well ink: black and magentha

: tools for silkscreen print (or an other way to print cotton) white cotton pillowcases
