Dutch experiments
Like the renowned Design Academy Eindhoven, which produces some of the most creative and funky designers each year, Dutch design has a bright future. Easily recognizable for its experimental value, bright colors, and free forms, we love its playful and recreational approach.
Stokkenstoel
With her project “Stages of the ordinary”, Hanna shines a new light on pre-industrial ornamental products, with the intention of sharing their forgotten communicative potential and their functionality. Hanna made a series of chairs inspired by a Dutch antique dining chair, 'the knopstoel'. By folding the chairs together, the two-dimensional image transforms into a practical three-dimensional product.
Gravity Bowl
Atelier Fig presents the Gravity Collection. Trough experimental processes, and innovative designs they create a world of extraordinary objects. The aesthetic experience creates awareness of the sensibility and transformation within the making process, showing what will often remain unexposed. A continuous back and forth between the natural force and our creative interventions, a fusion of the unexpected and the controllable. They refer to the objects as nothing more than long events.
Elvie dining room bench

Plakkenpot
With her project “Stages of the ordinary”, Hanna shines a new light on pre-industrial ornamental products, with the intention of sharing their forgotten communicative potential and their functionality. Amongst others, this design method has resulted in a contemporary reinterpretation of a coffee pot, that had a coffee pot from the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, NL) as a starting point. This new interpretation has both decorative as practical value.
Lamina Light - Sunrise
The new Lamina Light sculptures reveals has unique experience through distributing light between layered structures. The light sculpture creates fluctuating color patterns within its transparent slats. The slats, constructed from recycled acrylic material, create distortions which change color depending on the intensity of the light. The Lamina Light can be adjusted in strength and warmth in order to provide the optimal lighting conditions for its surroundings. Lamina explores new possibilities for more efficient production and recycling techniques.
Star Portrait
Star Portraits: Their names refer to stars in the galaxy. With nature human and objects being all made out of the same matter. Poof - Overgrown constructions. Simone Post took the material one step further towards 3D objects. She covered poufs with Vlisco left over textiles, like flowers that overgrow the construction of a building. Nature reclaims its place in the petrified world. Textile waste as matter: All the works gain more and more details, this is perfectly exposed in the Burning Blossom works. The textiles are being used as if they where paint; able to transform into anything.
Transience mirror - Triangle
Over time dark spots start to appear on mirrors. The silver layer is slowly oxidizing under the influence of oxygen and water, thereby showing some of its history. This process can be regarded as degradation, however this project shows the beauty of this material transition of silver. The Transience Mirrors reveal different states of oxidation through an accelerated process. All mirrors are handmade and the oxidation patterns look slightly different on each piece. This roughness in oxidation and the clean geometrical aesthetics make each design mirror truly unique and beautiful.
Oval Optical Rug
Our Optical Rugs are a playful take on what we know as an optical illusion. Extracted by the organic construction of the iris and its everchanging patterns; and they're made from 100% recycled materials. Material: TextileUpholstery: 100% polyamideProduct finish: Backing made of recycled plastics Carpet 100% recyclable
Well Proven Stool - small
Understanding that there is 50% to 80% of timber wastage during normal manufacture, Marjan van Aubel and James Shaw incorporated waste shavings into design chairs and stools using bio resin. A curious chemical reaction occurs when it is mixed with the shavings, expanding it into foam. The porridge-like mixture of resin and shavings is slapped on to the underside of the stool shell by hand, forming a strong and lightweight material. The exuberantly shaped seat is anchored by the simple turned legs of oak.
