Bricks made from waste materials, that give a building a unique and sustainable look and feel. The recipe is different for each variation and they all meet the industries requirements.
Industrially-produced, but naturally biodegradable. Revisiting traditional methods using an industrially produced “natural” material suggests a new relationship between industry and craft; a marriage of industrial chemistry and traditional knowledge that allows for a more flexible system of production and design.
Today we present Collection by Casper Tolhuisen. The food project is based on the creation of a set of tools in order to imitate the mass production processes and experiment with new ways to cook food. Thus, as it can be seen, the main focuses of it are both experimentation and design process.
Can the sound of a roaring lion or the movement of your child’s first steps be rendered in shapes? Bram Amendt has designed Life – Patterns – Objects: an interactive installation that cuts out shapes dictated by sounds or moving images. The user supplies a video that’s meaningful to them, which in turn will be transformed into a physical shape.

Transitions is a set of cutlery that develops the motor skills of a handicapped hand, step by step. Throughout the steps, the function of the cutlery and the way of holding them grow together in parallel.
We shouldn’t be afraid of using technology to enhance traditional handiwork. Thus, to bring craftsmanship into the modern age, he designed a computer interface that actually makes suggestions to the designer while he’s working.
For the exhibition The Machine ‘Computer Augmented Craft’ was turned from a simulation into an executable digital interface. Which recommends decisions to the designer whilst he/she works.
In a factory, overproduction is common. In between shifts, plastic is dripping on the floor. Instead of this, Ruben Thier created containers for under every extruder. By this, the plastic is collected as an overproduction archive.
In the movie ” Forgotten memory” you step into the world of dementia. An invisible and hidden world is exposed. I wonder how daily things look like with the view of a demented person. How do they experience their environment? What is a teapot if you don’t know what a teapot is?
“Respond” is an interactive coat rack, which moves when a coat is hung on it. It is an ingenious weight system, using precision carpentry and the element of surprise. After all, surprise arouses curiosity, and curiosity can lead you to the pleasure of understanding.
