Waldluft

“Waldluft” is part of my Solo Exhibition in 2019 called ‘A Forest’ held at ‘Gravieranstalt’ in Aachen, Germany.
Waldluft can be translated with ‘forest breeze’.

Waldluft is a polygon structure with a triangular composition. The three ventilators in the structure create a buoyancy and lift up a dried maple leaf.

The leaf is held in place by three thin strings while the ventilators are turning. Yet the leaf can easily fall being disturbed by turbulence caused by opening doors, people moving around it or even by talking in its presence.
Consequently the balance and the uplift are fragile conditions.

The beauty of the dancing leaf in the air is something I observed in the garden of my studio.
There is a beautiful maple tree which actually donated the leaf for ‘Waldluft’. I was inspired in autumn 2018 as one of its leaves was dancing in the air.

Waldluft becomes automatically part of its’ environment and interacts with everybody and everything that influences the air stream.
I think this is a very important symbolism that entails how we may interact with nature in order to keep it in balance.
Simply by leaving it by itself and avoiding any disturbance. Our interactions with nature can be compared to the condition of a wound that heals much slower because it is consistently touched.

This consequently means that we need to reduce our disturbing interference with nature and stop the uncontrollable growth of our economy. It is time to use and reuse the resources we already exploited rather than exploiting even more.

Materials: Wood: MDF & Plywood, ventilators, nylon strings, dried maple leaf, white colour

A Maze

A Maze

„A Maze“ is the world’s first both analogue and electric gaming console in marble.
Steer the ball through the maze with a thought-out mechanism.

Labyrinths, in the classical sense, have no wrong turns and lead around the goal until you finally reach it.

„A Maze“, though has no goal.
The labyrinth is made up of seven concentric rings that are linked together in such a way that there is no end and therefore no beginning.
The number seven is of great importance, because the seven is considered a mystical number but also plays an important role in our psyche and in our daily lives.
For one thing, our lives are focused on a 7-day week, and we have „Miller’s number Seven +/- 2” in memory psychology. Miller’s number explains that we can only keep 7 chunks of information simultaneously in our short term memory.

There is so much more to „A Maze“, with the concept of seven shaping the labyrinth itself, than could be put across by this brief introductory text.


Just experience it yourself.

Yosegi Light

The Yosegi table light is inspired by the Japanese wood working technique of the same name.

Each piece combines 158 elements of exquisite wood in its form.
Four different types of wood are used to create a distinct pattern that re-emerges throughout the piece.

Elegant brass detailing refines the overall appearance.
A simple yet sophisticated cooling system allows thermal draft around the light source, which increases the life span of the LED by reducing its ambient temperature.

Elaborately crafted to contained perfection, the Yosegi light opposes the free flowing character of the ‘Tree Friend’ collection.

Available for pre-order.

Materials:
Wood; ash (white), beech (tan), shorea (red) & wenge (black), brass
Light source: LED 5 W 24V
size: 45 cm height, 40 cm length, 30 cm width

Bodyreactor Mod-2

Fellow designer and artist Dik Scheepers & me built this modular capsule called Mod-2.
It was the basic element during a workshop called ‘The Spaceship’.

The capsule consists of 20 beds, 20 chairs and 21 Tables which can be taken apart and purposed individually.

BODYREACTOR is developed as part of SEAD (Space Ecologies Art and Design), a master project initiated by Angelo Vermeulen and Tine Holvoet.  Vermeulen and Holvoet want to introduce theater students to the complexity of human corporeality in outer space. The Artist invite the students to explore new ideas within their personal creative practices housing within the Bodyreactor.
