A 3D rug, made by dutch designer Tijmen Smeulders. Tijmen about the project: “I searched for a logic that brings together all the elements of which a rug exists. Color, shape, material, density and pile height are re-connected with each other in order of strengthening each presence. By making use of a color gradient, a transition from long to short poles and an unusual oval shape, the rug has become a three-dimensional object that defines its own space. You can feel and see the rug is changing from the inside out”.

Look at the beautiful series of interior surfaces, designed by Buro Belén in collaboration with Tinctoria. // 5 plaids represent blue and red at the same time. By dying velvet with plant dyes, every dye reacts different on the specific materials. Indigo (blue) prefers viscose while madder (red) likes the silk. Using these characteristics, magical effects appear. A very exciting product is created through a small collaboration with nature.

Material: silk/viscose velvet, dyed with indigo and madder.

Siba Sahabi’s work aims to show how one culture can influence another, leading to renewal and cultural richness. Between Two Rivers is the ancient Greek translation of the term Mesopotamia, the birthplace of the pottery turntable. The turntable, aided potters to design circular objects more accurately and faster. In Greece sparked a new style of ceramics called Minyan pottery which Siba has reinterpreted in her felt sculptures. A circular, ribbed finish is one of the distinguishing characteristics of Minyan ware which reflects its production process on a potter’s turntable.

The objects from the collection, that comprise a series of carafes are made from coiled coloured felt strips coated with a layer of paint on both sides. The dense felt material beautifully translates the heavy appearance of the Minyan ware and exaggerates the appearance of the oversized objects, some of which are up to 50cm high.

This hanging lamp of designer Dirk vander Kooij looks like a brilliant gold colored celestial body, but it’s a lamp made out of recycled synthetics and metal. The form is derived from the Fresnel lens – a special lens that concentrates light into a relatively narrow beam which is used in for instance lighthouses, searchlights and navigation lights. The shape causes the light out of the 360 led lights to be sent up and down. The layered structure diffuses the warm light so it’s not unpleasant to look into the lamp.Furthermore, the lamp is hung up on a cup-and-ball joint so one can aim it accurately.
