Triptiek is a growing collection of interior objects, equipped and adorned with leather patterns. It’s a collaboration with interior collective ONBETAALBAAR; the process was realised thanks to TOP-atelier. Leather is recovered from thrifted seats and factory surpluses, and cut into strips. I combine the client’s colour preferences with the leather availability. The strips are woven into […]

Belicht was a research project that studied the transformational powers of light and nature. Operating in my closest surroundings, I used fading colours, decaying textures and natural materials as opportunities to create patterns and dye. These tactile experiments brought to light a reflection on time and the environment. This project was supported by Toegepast 17 […]
