DYNAMIC CERAMIC

Dynamic ceramic is a conceptual research into creating ceramic products that are soft and able to react to their own surroundings. It plays with the contrast of a hard material and a very vulnerable skin. It’s an ongoing material investigation which resulted in a series of vases that change in response to UV light, revealing new patterns, structures and colours.

TRANS-SADDLES

Adrianus Kundert

From integrating scratch-proof coatings to finishes that facilitate easy cleaning, we do everything in our power to prevent our products from aging by essentially freezing them in time. But why? Adrianus Kundert believes richness comes with age and it’s a phenomenon that can add to a design’s value. Within his work, Kundert chooses to let gradual erosion become part of a product’s lifespan. The follow up to a series of rugs, which revealed different colours, textures and patterns when ‘damaged’ by usage, Trans-saddles is an experiment in seating areas. Just like the floor coverings, they change appearance after repeatedly coming into contact with people.

Ripening Rugs 

Ripening Rugs represent a positive take on the process of wear. We have designed these rugs so that they come to life through intensive use: as the yarn or weave becomes worn, the rug begins to reveal a different colour, texture, or pattern. Working closely with different companies and professionals, we have developed our own techniques, including yarns with special characteristics. The gradual erosion is what makes these floor coverings increase in attractiveness, each in its own way, rather than rendering them valueless and ending their life as with so many industrially manufactured products.
