DDW: Lex Pott





One of my favourite designers at the Dutch Design Week this year is Lex Pott. The project 'True colours' by Amsterdam based designer is the outcome of his research on metals and the changing colours from the time they are found in the ground until the end of the oxidation process.  

'When an element like copper is found in nature it has a green colour. Iron has an orange / brown  colour when being found inside the earth. Oxidized metal surfaces create colours that provide information about a material. The pallete is a reaction with the base material. Therefore the coloured surfaces have an organic growth of colour and not every colour is possible on every surface.'

beautiful colours at DDW 2013


Renske Verbeek

Dienke Dekker & Daniel Costa

 Jolijn Pasmans

Today I went to the Graduation Show of the Design Academy Eindhoven and saw some lovely projects amongst the graduates. Being a colour-addict I photographed these three projects: 

Leather Nudes by Renske Verbeek
Renske works with leather in natural colours. The seams are glued together and make a curious detail.

The Symbiosis of Stoneware & Porcelain 
by Dienke Dekker and Daniel Costa
The project investigates the behavioural and aesthetic qualities of two distinct types of ceramics.

Soft concrete by Jolijn Pasmans
During her project, Jolijn researched concrete with an experimental anti-industrial approach.

olive wood meets lapis lazuli


I came across this lovely bracelet made from olive wood and lapis lazuli by the artist Arthur Kemelman. He mainly works with olive wood and materials such as malachite, lapis or gold leaf. The handmade items are all natural pieces of art.

In-Fashion 2013







This weekend I went to In-Fashion, 
an event in Utrecht packed with fashion shows, lectures, workshops and an exhibition in the centre of the city. I liked the variation of the events that gave an insight into Utrecht's fashion scene.
