Form&Seek London Design Fair2017
Form&Seek will be part of Dutch Pavilion at London Design Fair on 21-24 September 2017
Form&Seek exhibitions always show a consideration to new crafts, material and processes.
With this upcoming show Form&Seek explores the theme of "Openness" where we focus on what designers with a vision of across borders and cultures, make and design in order to shift attitudes and cultures for the a more inclusive future. Form&Seek explores the idea of Dutch design, not through a national lens but as an attitude and way of thinking.
For the first time ever Form&Seek launches its own collection during London Design Festival as well as a producing and selling platform, enabling consumers and retailers to purchase original and innovative crafted goods from a curated collection founded and run by designers.
The Form&Seek collection focuses on new developed processes and contemporary, globally local craft techniques. Interesting, innovative materials and processes play a key role in the pieces by Form&Seek. Each item tells a story through the way it has been made or the impact it has on our daily lives.
Our new collection expands on a wide range of crafted products from conventional products prototyped with new technologies to products that play with natural formations and uses of material. Each thought provoking, poetic design object has a strong character and personality with the personal mark of the maker.
Imaginary drinks: the memories of tastes
The concept of my design stems from the memories of my childhood and the first eating activity how we build up memories and perception about the taste.
From my personal experience the most unforgettable memory is built on the touching experience. For example, when we were sucking mother’s breast at the first time it is the starting point of recognition of tasty world.
Touching sensibility is the beginning idea to develop this project. Tactile sensation is a perception of understanding the things around us and it creates visceral reaction. The surface image of bottles is reminiscent of liquid inside and brings imagination for the user to think about what is inside.
These extraordinary bottles are quite fun but also it brings curiosity about the object between function and non-function. This artistic object is situated beyond functionality and suggests the potential how the ordinary object can be evolved.
