More 400 Years Later Cite Goes Dutch
by Jaime / June 8, 2009


More projects from the exhibition 400 Years Later Cite Goes Dutch. Among the work on display was tableware from Maarten Baptist and Laurens van Wieringen, chairs by Lucas Maassen (above), lighting by Dave Keune and jewelry by Greetje van Helmond. More after the jump.



The two forms of tableware came from Maarten Baptist and Laurens van Wieringen. Baptist presented a series of stemware resting on three sturdy legs, while Laurens van Wieringen's ceramics literally broke the mould. In creating this collection, the moulds were cracked and re-assembled during production, giving each piece a slightly different look. Lucas Maassen showcased his Yoga Chairs in all shapes and sizes.

More show highlights included David Keune's bamboo Plint lights, which were made to expand and contract. Greetje van Helmond had two samples of her Unsustainable jewelry on display. The necklaces, which were made from a sugar solution, had been growing for five days and several months respectively.

The tripod glassware is fun. Is it stable?

I love the tableware from Maarten Baptist and Laurens van Wieringen. Really original.

Hi Kim,

I picked it up and the glass did seem very stable - although it was empty. The pieces are now being manufactured by Umbra in their Umbra+ collection.
