Geiger Neli — textile designer and educator
(1896, Ivanec — 1983, Zagreb)

Textile designer, university professor and educator. She works in textile and apparel design but also creates blue-prints for lace and embroidery. From 1915 to 1916, she spends time at the Art Academy, after which she works at the Department of Textiles at the Emmy Zweibuck School of Arts and Crafts in Vienna. In 1932, she attends training at the Reinau School in Berlin, where she learns the splatter painting technique for fabrics. In her work, she often broadens the scope of possibilities in applying new technologies in design and creates new materials with rich structures, colored with special techniques. The samples she makes in the 1920s are marked by geometrical styling, folk ornaments and coloristic contrasts, while the stress in her later work lies on the facture and coloring. During the 1920s, she runs a course for artistic crafts attended by textile designers such as Vlasta Baranjay. At her first international exhibition in Paris in 1925, she wins the Grand Prix. Two years later, in a joint show with  the members of the Društvo za promicanje umjetničkog obrta “Djelo” (Djelo Association for the Promotion of Artistic Crafts”), she receives the Prix d’Honneur. She receives the silver medal at the Paris World Show in 1939. She independently takes part in numerous specialized tenders in the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany, where her work is often well received.
