Some examples of our custom collections for musea:
Collection for Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam
A dream project with endless inspiration in the botanical gardens, we’ve been exploring the amazing greenhouses at the Hortus botanicicus Amsterdam for inspiration. We designed some of their special plants and butterflies into eco-jewelry and custom planthangers. Our custom packaging with photos of their greenhouse really enhances the designs. Our eco-jewelry is made with respect for our wonderful planet, made from recycled plastics and oakwood, handmade in our studio.
Collection for Rietveld Schröder House, Utrecht
The museum asked us to design a collection for the 100year anniversary of the house. Rietveld strongly believed art should be available to the general public, like we do with our wearable art. We played with the basic shapes of the architecture and the famous Rietveld chair, a modular collection and composition like the house itself. We also made a special Rietveld edition of our planthangers, miss Schröder too believed outside and inside should overflow into eachother. With the planthangers in primary colors you can highlight your plant and hand them in front of the windows to catch more light and green up your home. Made from recycled plastics, handmade in our studio.
National Gallery Singapore, Gallery Store by Abry
Collection for Kim Lim exhibition at National Gallery Singapore, for the Gallery Store by Abry ltd ✨ I was asked to design a collection for the exhibition of Kim Lim, inspired by her contemporary sculptures. We chose a new sustainable material for the brooches, aluminum, as this is a recycled material, never using up our earth’s natural sources. Very strong and lightweight, looking like silver. The earrings are sterling silver. You can find our collection and the Kim Lim exhibition at the National Gallery Singapore till February 26th.
Naturalis museum
300 Triceratopses for @naturalismuseum! We 3D printed and lasercut no less than 300 triceratopses for the Triceratops exhibition at Naturalis. Triceratops eco-jewelry earrings, necklaces, keyrings and rings. An amazing exhibition with a herd of real, dug out triceratops skeletons found in Wyoming, USA. I’m especially excited about the big pink Tricaratops display we made for the museum store. Fun fact: our 3D prints are biodegradable, made from elephants grass. Also the paper of the custom packaging we made is from elephants grass. Thank you @naturalismuseum for this cool and very fun project!
National Holocaust Museum
Very honored to have made 500 Ginko pins for the opening of the National Holocaust Museum. Check minister Yesilgoz wearing our pin the at the news! At the official opening 500 attendants were gifted our Ginko pins, as a symbol of peace and hope. Responsibly made from eco-brass. The Ginko trees at the courtyard of the museum were silent witnesses when Jewish children where escaping there over the walls and being saved from deportation. Very honored I was asked to create these eco-brass golden Ginko leaves for this important new national museum, where you can find personal stories from the past so we never forget…
Picasso collection for Mudec Museum, Milan Italy
Our collection at the Mudec Museum in Milan, I was asked to create 180 jewelry pieces for the Picasso exhibition in the Mudec Museum. Inspired by Picasso but using modern, experimental recycled plastics and innovative techniques. Recycled waste plastics that look like crushed candy, bright lilac, metallics and special custom packaging for the exhibition. Imagine what Picasso himself would have created if he would have had access to modern techniques like lasercutting and 3Dprinting… The custom packaging is made from recycled cardboard.
Collection for UMU – University Museum and botanical gardens Utrecht
For the UMU museum we designed a special collection inspired by the botanical gardens and their unique Blaschka collection, 140 year old glass scientific and educational models of sealife. After research of the models and the botanical garden we translated this inspiration to unique designs for a jewelry collection. The collection is sustainably made with the wood waste from the oldest Ginko Boliba tree in Europe, the highlight in their hortus botanica, combined with recycled acrylic glass. The collection is made by hand, in collaboration with our social workplace. We also designed and produced custom, sustainable packaging. The packaging also tells the story about the items, educating the visitors about their favorite pieces in the museum.
Verkade collection for Zaans Museum
Zaans Museum houses the legacy of Verkade, the famous cookie factory. We designed the iconic, original cookies into a collection: the Cafe Noir cookies, Maria Biscuits, strawberry and vanilla cookies. In the custom designed cookie shaped display you can find our cookie pins, earrings and rings. All made from recycled plastics, handmade in our studio. A very jummy collection!
Vincent van Gogh collection for Mudec museum Milan, Italy
The Mudec museum asked us to design a jewelry collection for their exposition of Vincent van Gogh paintings. The exhibition is in collaboration with the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, in the Netherlands, with their amazing collection of approximately 40 Van Gogh’s paintings and drawings. Our designs are a creative, modern interpretation of his masterpieces, made in 3D enameled metal with goldplated necklaces and earrings.
Passchendaele Memorial Museum, Belgium
For the museum on the first World War we designed a collection with lots a poppies, a symbol for rememberance and hope. The beautiful old museum is where the battles took place, you can walk through the trenches dug for the war, amidst the poppy fields. The poppy is a symbol for the victims of the war. We also made jewelry with the beautiful architecture of the museum as well as the original canon located at the museum. The 150 pieces are available at the museumshop. The jewelry is made from recycled plastics, with respect for the beautiful poppyfields on our planet ♻️
Zeppelin Museum, Germany
The Zeppelin Museum is a museum in Friedrichshafen in Germany, the birthplace of the Zeppelin airship. Here at the Bodensee is where the actual zeppelins were build and tested in the 1900’s. The museum houses the largest collection on airships in the world, and tells the history of the Zeppelin airships. It houses a full scale replica of the famous Hindenburg zeppelin! In addition, it is the only museum in Germany that combines technology and art. The zeppelin is a real design icon and we loved transforming it into 3D-printed zeppelins and lasercut build-your-own zeppelin kits. For the collection we used sustainable 3D-rpint PHA and iridescent recycled plastics. The custom designed jewelry giftbox with silver metallic print is a jewel itself!
Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam
Custom planthangers made from sustainable, recycled acrylic glass for Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
Bauhaus Dessau, Kunsthalle München, Museum Barberini, Bozar Museum
Matisse inspired collection for the Bauhaus Dessau Museum, Kunsthalle München, Museum Barberini and Bozar Museum.
Dali Collection for Mudec Museum, Milano Italy
For the Mudec Museum we design a collection inspired by Dali’s work ‘The persistance of time’, for the Surrealismo exposition in the Mudec Museum.
De Kunsthal Rotterdam collection
Our 3D printed collection for De Kunsthal Rotterdam. 3D printed from recycled plastics. Our 3D printed collection is not in our current collection but available as custom collection.
Rijksmuseum Twenthe collection
For the Rijksmuseum Twenthe we designed a collection inspired by their masterpieces of Odilon Redon and Claude Monet.
When facemasks became obliged in the museum, we proposed to museum to reproduce their masterpieces to unique facemasks. We made 350 facemasks for all employees and volunteers, all unique, with a real size piece of one of the masterpieces in the museum. Therefore we printed 50 of the museum’s artworks on eco-cotton and had it proudly sown by our workshop of refugee tailors. A very positive, inspirational project for all in pandemic times!
