A course by Lara Pertschy
For Lara Pertschy, the art of macramé started as a hobby and a relaxing activity to escape from the stresses of her job in the technical world. Since 2019, she has been fully devoted to her brand, KnotOurPlanet, and shares her art and expertise on Instagram because she loves helping others discover the joy of knots. Her most distinguished piece is the Elma wall hanging, which she wrote a book on explaining how to make it.
According to Laura, macramé is a decorative art form for authentic people who want to dress up their homes with true taste. In her designs, she tries to incorporate functionality into purely decorative elements. As the name suggests, her brand is more than just knots; Lara puts a heavy emphasis on sustainability and environmental awareness, as evidenced by her use of natural materials and environmentally friendly approach to managing her store. She generally uses cotton cord from local family businesses as the primary material for her designs.
