Leather Loops

Leather Loops is another reaction to waste leather. Fully rejected skins, faded by sunlight or with too many damages are used in this project. Like an l.p. the leather tops can easily be swapped within the family of frames.
The rejected skins are cut down to straps and rolled up to seats. These straps are both cut and rolled up in different ways to bring diversity in a standard process. Any leftover leather skin can be used as the seat only reveals the end grain of the leather. All damages and color differences are hidden inside the seat.

Cracks

Cracks is a series of ‘broken’ crockery.
This crockery is based upon the natural behaviour of shrinking of porcelain during the firingprocess. It shows an increasing pattern of cracks along the series.

In collaboration with Bauke Knottnerus
The starting point of this crockery is to build up the whole series starting with a huge plate and a big bowl. After firing the plate and the bowl will shrink about 15 %.
The shrinking basicly creates the series: from big bowl to cup and from plate to saucer. In the end of the series cup and saucer meet again.
The layers of cracks are applied to show the decay of products. The future of a cup will eventually end up in cullet.

Material: Porcelain
Size: various
