Annyta Lolyta was born in 1959 in Amsterdam.                                            She studied art and textiles at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and at the famous Central St. Martin’s College of Art & Design in London. At the latter she received in 1989 a first class honours degree for printed textiles.                                                              Her work for Georgina von Etzdorf and her love for fabrics inspired her in 1991 to start her own  design- and print studio for her revolutionary textiles. The atelier is based  in Baambrugge, near Amsterdam in an old rebuilt cowshed. It is specialized in different printing techniques and finishes. The most important however, are the idea for and total image of the fabrics.                                                                                                                                                

Since 1996 Annyta Lolyta Goossens designs collections of beautiful poetical scarves. The inspiration for a collection comes from nature, art, daily rhythms, poetry and memories. A powerful image emerges by using and combining different materials and techniques in a personal way. Together with her often abstract designs a distinctive  and innovative style is created. The scarves are a symphony of colour, they surprise by material contrasts and their reflection of light. With her textiles Annyta Lolyta likes to evoke a dreamlike world.                                   Her scarves are/have been sold at galleries and designer shops in Europe ( f.e. Paul Smith) and  in New York and Japan.                                                                                                   

New are  Annyta Lolyta’s accessories for the interior. These include curtains, cushions, bedcovers, draught-screens, rugs and covering for chairs. All products can be ordered at her studio. Every piece is unique as they are made by hand. The textiles that Annyta Lolyta designs for these are as lyrical as the scarves and more monumental.                                                                                       Annyta Lolyta’s favourite material is velvet, because of its ability to change in colour in different light, its softness and its mystery. By using and treating velvet in a revolutionary way, Annyta Lolyta proves that velvet can be innovative and fresh in the interior.                                                                                                  

All of Annyta Lolyta’s articles are produced in her atelier or in the Netherlands with great care of quality and are therefore exclusive and special.                                                                                                  

Because of her experience with textiles  and techniques, Annyta Lolyta is often asked to develop new fabrics for styling agencies.  She also worked on a development project of the Norwegian government : ‘Jute from Bangladesh’, she designed cushions and curtains of jute.                                         Annyta Lolyta also designs for others, including Ulf Moritz.   .
