Sustainable energy and protective suits

woven

A new appreciation for traditional weaving techniques. Bold colours, lush textures, rich embroidery and opulent motifs seem to be back in vogue. I also saw a lot of yarns and wires made from recycled plastics to create new textures that don’t look like plastics at all. Off course, we had foreseen all of this when designing and creating our custom curtain for Bar Marie in MechelenAs seen @ Kazerne, Sectie C, Walter van Beirendonck, Kiki van Eijk, Piet Hein Eek and Material Sense

Artisan techniques and new textures

laboratory

Designers showed a lot of ‘work in progress’, in other words, the process of creating is more important as the end result. As a spectator it felt as if you could take a look into the mind and workshop of the creator or designer him or herself. Experimenting and showing the results was very visible this year. Also, the idea of setting up a presentation in a laboratory look and feel was very popular.As seen @ Material Sense, van Abbemuseum, Schellensfabriek, Piet Hein Eek (Aesop), Atelier NL, Sectie C
