Atelier NL - Clay Service - Brunssum

Op de Dutch Design Week presenteerde Atelier NL hun servies uit Brunssumse klei. Dat moest ik natuurlijk zien!  Toen ik al een tijdje bezig was met mijn project wees iemand mij al op het werk van Atelier NL. Zij deden een soortgelijk project, waarbij zij klei verzamelden uit verschillende plaatsen door heel Nederland en zelfs een stuk daar buiten, daar plakjes van maakten en die stookten. De vele plakjes vormen een soort kleurenkaart, ieder plakje spreekt voor een plaats, een landschap. Brunssum zat daar uiteindelijk ook bij.

(boven) Foto gemaakt tijdens de DDW, NL05 is de code voor Brunssum. Waar Atelier NL dus door heel Nederland ging, ben ik met mijn project lokaal gebleven en heb mij gericht op de Brunssumse klei specifiek. Een onderzoek naar deze klei waar die de romeinen al kwamen halen vanuit Heerlen en die in de middeleeuwen het materiaal was om twee eeuwen lang een pottenbakkers industrie mee stand te houden... 

...en nu is er weer een servies van deze speciale klei beschikbaar!

Waar in Brunsum deze klei precies vandaan komt weet ik niet, maar hij bakt Brunssums geel.  Wat ik wel speciaal vond is dat dit servies niet gedraaid is en ook niet gegoten. De klei wordt in de mal gedrukt en op een kallibreefschijf schraapt men aan de binnenzijde een vorm uit. Hierdoor heeft het servies aan de buitenzijde subtiele vouwtjes en is het aan de binnenzijde glad - op de stempel na.

Atelier NL verkoopt een groot en klein bord. Naast de twee borden, nog kommen en een kopje. Ik heb in elk geval alvast een kom gekocht en ben verliefd.  Meer informatie over AtelierNL kan u hier vinden.

HIGHLIGHTS DUTCH DESIGN WEEK

Last weekend I went to the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. An interesting design week because it’s not all big commercial collaborations of already well-known designers, but you really get the chance to discover young talents – that’s why you see design icons as Rosanna Orlandi and Marcus Fairs in Eindhoven too. Of course you can also see the work of big names such as Maarten Baas, Kiki and Joost, AtelierNL, MVRDV and many more. There’s a lot to see – they told me that you need at least three days – but I did my best to find the true gems. Don’t miss the following locations and their designers!

  Charles Petillon for Sunbrella

You’ve probably know the work of Charles Petillon from his balloon installations. Now he worked together with fabric brand Sunbrella to design an installation with balloons again, but the balloons are decorated with the fabrics of Sunbrella. Check it out at VDMA in the center of Eindhoven. There’s also a cool pop up lunch restaurant going on there during the week by The Creative Food Studio and AnoukxVera. Location: VDMA 

    Fundamentals by Dutch Invertuals

Beautiful set design by Raw Color for Fundamentals by Dutch Invertuals. They’ve invited 45 designers, such as Sabine Marcelis, De Intuitiefabriek and Jeroen Wand to show objects that usually remain hidden. The result is an installation with more than 800 objects. Location: Design Perron.

    Workshop and store of Kiki and Joost

Designers Kiki and Joost recently moved into a new workshop and it’s worth taken a look as they’ve presented their work in between the machines they work with. And they have this lovely shop where you can buy their products and see the lovely door frames that makes a good Instagram picture. Location: Plan B, Hurksestraat 19.

    Maarten Baas ‘May I have your attention, please?’

The winning installation of Maarten Baas x Lensvelt for the Salone del Mobile touched down in Eindhoven at De Kazerne. Try it out, make a lovely portrait in between the speakers or find your favorite chair. Don’t forget to go to a tiny little corner in De Kazerne where you will find a huge vase designed by Maarten Baas for Cor Unum. Location: De Kazerne.

    Atelier NL’s SAND

Atelier NL moved in a new studio as well and it’s a former church at De Hallenweg. Since a few years the duo collects sand from all over the world and in an alternative world map they show you the different sand. They’ve made a close-up from the sand and it’s of course always nice to see the white sand of beaches in Thailand or Australia, but it’s also interesting to see the black sand of Iceland for example. Location: Atelier NL 

    And hotspot wise? You can’t visit Eindhoven without drinking a coffee at Bean Brothers, having a dinner at Radio Royaal, having lunch at Onder de Leidingstraat and shopping at Sissy Boy. Enjoy!

  Check out: www.ddw.nl and www.visitbrabant.nl

Lo studio Atelier NL utilizza natura, storia ed esperienza come strumenti per creare oggetti e collezioni che possano arricchire la vita di tutti i giorni. L’atelier si serve del design come metodo per rivelare informazioni e modelli nascosti “al di sotto del mondano”. Come ambasciatori della Dutch Design Week 2017 (edizione 2015 / edizione 2016), presenteranno il progetto “To See a World in a Grain of Sand”, una ricerca per conoscere le diverse tipologie e componenti della sabbia in varie località del mondo.

Come nei due progetti precedenti quest’ultimo, ZandGlas glassware line specific to regions of the Netherlands e ZandBank study of 80 sands from across Europe,  Atelier NL processerà i differenti tipi di sabbia per creare vetri. Per raccogliere più tipologie possibili, da agosto 2017 chiunque potrà inviare un campione in una bottiglietta da 330ml. L’obbiettivo finale è ottenere diversi vetri per colori e texture, così che ogni località abbia il proprio. Le fondatrici di Atelier NL, Nadine Sterk e Lonny van Ryswyck, descrivono così il lavoro:

“Questo progetto apre il nostro metodo a tutti, dagli studenti agli scienziati, dai bambini agli artisti. Partecipando al nostro lavoro, inizieranno ad apprezzare la ricchezza delle proprie aree in maniera diversa, identificandosi profondamente con il proprio territorio…Come ambasciatori per la DDW vogliamo fare partecipare il pubblico al nostro lavoro e mostrare le future possibilità che la sabbia dà, in quanto materiale versatile. Ciascun granello racconterà una storia e creerà una connessione tra materiali locali ed esseri umani.”

Atelier NL presenterà To See a World in a Grain of Sand alla 16a edizione della Dutch Design Week, che avrà luogo ad Eindhoven da sabato 21 ottobre a domenica 29 ottobre 2017. Non perdetevela!

NL-BRUNSSUM-0086

“This sand is from Brunssum, my hometown. It comes from a sand drift at the Brunssumerheide, a protected nature preserve. It was deposited by mines Jaartsveld&Energie around the 1900's when they produced mined gravel, brown coal and stone coal. Locals refer to the sand as 'silver sand', saying it is ideal sand for producing clear glass. There are still several active 'silver' sandpits nearby. “  - Bert van Malde, to See a World in a Grain of Sand 

Zand van de zandverstuiving op de Brunssumerheide Brunssum heeft een lange geschiedenis als het gaat om de delving van grondstoffen. De romeinen haalden hier hun klei, van diezelfde klei maakte men in de middeleeuwen aardewerk en later steengoed.  In de 19e eeuw begint men met de delving van grondstoffen zoals bruinkool, waarbij ook zand, grind en klei gedolven werd. De delving betrof vooral dagbouw, waarbij de grondstoffen werden afgegraven aan de oppervlakte.

(boven) Firma Jaartsveld, de groeve energie. bron: Mijnstreek  Het dekzand van de groeves Jaartsveld/Energie werd gestort in moerasige gebied van de Brunssumerheide, zo ontstond daar een reuzachtige zandvlakte. Dit zand, vaak door de lokale bevolking ‘zilverzand genoemd’ is dat feitelijk niet, omdat het hier gaat om Holoceen stuifzand van circa 10.000 of 20.000 jaar oud. Dit dekzand is het zand dat tijdens de laatste ijstijd grote delen van Nederland bedekte. Het zand van bijvoorbeeld rivierbeddingen werd door de wind verspreid over het landschap. Omdat het door de wind is aangevoerd, wordt het ook eolisch zand genoemd of stuifzand(driftzand).

Koffiepoel, waar de groeve energie lag, op de achtergrond Staatsmijn Hendrik. Bron: Baswaanders.com Er is in de omgeving wel degelijk winning van zilverzand en in eerste instantie is het verschil natuurlijk moeilijk te zien. Zilverzand wordt in Nederland gewonnen in Heerlen(o.a. in de Sibelco Groeve) en Brunssum. Het zand wordt gebruikt in de glasindustrie en is daar uiterst geschikt voor, het is uiterst zuiver zand met een laag ijzergehalte. Zou krijg je zuiver en helder (wit) glas. Zand met een hoger ijzergehalte zorgt en bij de glasproductie voor dat het glas een groene kleur krijgt.

Sample NL-BRUNSSUM-0086 komt van de zandvlakte op de Brunssumerheide en is dus stuifzand. Ik heb het tijdens de Dutch Design Week naar het Alchemy Lab van Atelier NL gebracht in Eindhoven. Het sample uit uiteindelijk gesmolten tot glas in een porselijnen kopje. 

Ik maak uit dit heldere witte glas uit dat het zand een zeer laag ijzergehalte heeft.

A World of Sand - AtelierNL

Tijdens de Dutch Design Week 2017 presenteerde AtelierNL in het kerkje in Eindhoven een grote hoeveelheid porseleine kopjes. In ieder kopje zat een proefje, veelal glas in verschillende kleuren. Sommige kopjes net alsof er wit zeeschuim uit komt. Een enkeling gebarsten.

Ieder kopje is een poging om glas te maken van zand dat mensen vanover de hele wereld instuurden. Van een wand aan plastic flesjes met zand, tot op de grond uitgezette kopjes met glas, gesorteerd op land. Een aantal uit Duitsland, een paar uit America en een flink aantal uit Thailand. 

Eigenlijk kwam ik niet voor het zand en het glas, ik kwam voor het Brunssumse Servies. Ik was nog nooit eerder bij AtelierNL geweest, en nu was ik er eindelijk. Het was er kleiner dan ik had verwacht. Alles was er zeer goed doordacht, zo nauwkeurig en netjes gepresenteerd. 

Tijdens een gesprek met een vrijwilliger over mijn onderzoek naar Schinveld-Brunssums aardewerk, hadden we het ook over zilverzand. Daar hebben we een hele vlakte van in Brunssum. Wat ik weet, in Heerlen vlak over de gemeente grens met Brunssum is er een heuse zilverzand groeve. Daar werd mij altijd over verteld dat ze daarvan het zuiverste glas van maakte, bijvoorbeeld voor beeldbuizen.

Na klei en wat men daar van maakte is het wellicht een goed idee om te zien of het zilverzand in Brunssum ook zulk zuiver glas maakt. Daarop besloot ik de laatste dag een fles zilverzand uit Brunssum langs te brengen. 

Uiteindelijk zijn het 8 samples uit Brunssum geworden, waarvan 6 uit het Schutterspark waar ook de klei voor mijn project vandaan komt.

Alle samples zijn via de website van AtlierNL ingevoerd en zo genummerd. Ieder sample is terug te vinden met verhaal en foto op de website; http://aworldofsand.com/

NL-BRUNSSUM-86 Zilverzand van de vlakte op de Brunssumerheide.

NL-BRUNSSUM-94 Gezeefd sample van de kolenberg onder de nieuwe brug in het Schutterspark.

NL-BRUNSSUM-95 Een sample van een molshoop op het veld onder aan ze skihelling.

NL-BRUNSSUM-96 Een sample van zand aan de kant van de Roode Beek onder de laag sedem.

NL-BRUNSSUM-97 Een sample van licht zand uit de bedding van de Roode Beek.

NL-BRUNSSUM-98 Een sample van een geel soort aarde, lijkt een soort mergel, maar daar staat Brunssum niet bekend om.

NL-BRUNSSUM-99 Een stukje verderop een ander sample gele aarde, waar een dassenburcht/vossenhol was. Wellicht een meer poreuze vorm van mergel?

NL-BRUNSSUM-100 Een sample van het plateau van Amstenrade nabij het Leeuwstuk, waarschijnlijk ijzerhoudende leem.

Hopelijk in een volgende post de resultaten van de samples. Brunssums glas? :)

8 HOURS IN TILBURG

The next couple of months I’m gonna explore Brabant as there are a lot of interesting design events going on. On Friday I went to Tilburg and I love to share my finds with you!

  Textile capital of The Netherlands

Tilburg is the Textile capital of The Netherlands. Designers such as Viktor & Rolf, Mae Engelgeer and Studio Job all come to Tilburg when they are working on new fabrics. The city is not build around one center as you see in cities like Amsterdam or Den Bosch, but is made out of small villages inside the city. Why? Well, during the heydays of the textile industry (way back to the end of the 19th century) the city had more than 125 wool fabric factories. And those places served as villages complete with stores, houses and sheep. A lot of sheep.

    Best Museum of 2017

One of the must visits of Tilburg if you want to learn more about the city, but more importantly if you want to see how designers work to create their inspiring fabrics, is a visit to Textielmuseum. This year the museum was awarded as the Best Museum of 2017. Apart from the museum they also have the TextielLab. Where you can get an up-close look at the production of for example the tea towels of Studio Job. There’s also an exhibition called Earth Matters curated by trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort and Philip Fimmano. They explore how designers such as AtelierNL, Piet Hein Eek and Hella Jongerius work with nature.

      Hotspots in Tilburg

Just like the little textile-villages in the 19th century the city still has several areas to explore. The Piushaven for example where the terrace of Villa Pastorie is the perfect place to have lunch on a warm day. Next to it you’ll find Pier31, a cute concept store where you can buy some local design. In ‘Het Dwaalgebied’ you can find independent hotspots like Meneer en Mevrouw van Hout where they sell mostly Scandinavian inspired design, new bakery Pig & Rye and Zoete Zaken, a patisserie with a lovely hidden garden. And ‘De Spoorzone’ is a complete new area on the Northside of Central Station where you will find two lovely restaurants: Houtloods and Eetbar de Wagon.

            Coming soon: Anish Kapoor in Tilburg

Tilburg also has a fantastic museum for modern art called De Pont. I didn’t go there this time as I’m waiting for Anish Kapoor’s new art work to arrive on September 16. The British artist, who is known for Cloud Gate in Chicago, is currently making a sculpture especially for the museum’s 25th birthday.
