Jule Cats

design - experimental - objects - sculpting - environment

Fascination is a central element to Jule Cats' designs, stimulating interaction between the object and the user. With her current handmade objects, she creates a sense of mystery by combining contrasting materials into one object.

The origin of her current work lies within the housing system of Dutch cities. Having lived in houses that were on the list to be demolished, Jule Cats experienced the grief that comes with being forced to leave your home. By combining concrete remains with polyester, she developed multiple objects showing the beauty and emotional value of a waste product. At the same time, she draws attention to subjects that are overlooked in our society.
