Vegetables / Scholten & Baijings

In the year 2011 the theme of the Zuiderzee Museum will be the close and productive relationship between designers and traditional production methods.

In advance of this, the designers’ duo Scholten & Baijings have come up with Vegetables, a study of the designer as a craftsman. Their question is: will a design gain in power if it is completely realized in the design studio? They took a major Dutch export product as a source of inspiration: vegetables. They set to work with textiles, which they dyed by hand and transformed into vegetables with the help of wire. Here you can have a foretaste, and from 28 May 2011 onwards the Zuiderzee Museum will serve the full and final result.
