Studio Ineke van der Werff is all about experimenting. Pushing the limits of old techniques and materials, Ineke likes to play with the expectations of the user. Even though her designs are usually clean and iconic, there is always a twist. Porcelain+ is an investigation of the material underneath the glaze. By mixing unusual materials with porcelain, Ineke created a whole new world of structures and colours. She explored the boundaries of beauty, familiarity and functionality.

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.
