Making Kin
An intentional and creative act that goes beyond biological ties to forge meaningful relationships between humans, non-humans, and more-than-humans.

Embellished Edges
There was a time, before the onset of industrialisation, when ornamentation defined the beauty of crafted objects, weaving artistry into the everyday—from grand architectural structures to the most personal belongings. Craftspeople shaped intricate patterns and rich textures, lending a sensory depth to the world around them. Yet, with the rise of industry, ornamentation grew subdued; things became uniform, and the unexpected nuances of ornament were gradually lost.

1m2 Collective
Dutch Design Week '22 at Van Abbe Museum.
As a designer, exhibiting your work at a major design event requires a big financial investment, and relies heavily on your network. For the majority of starting designers, no matter how talented, this makes exhibiting at a design festival out of reach. 1m2 Collective has set out to visualise this problem and provide a solution by fitting as many designers as possible into just 1m2 of ground space.
