We bring you the best of Dutch Design Week 2022, from exhibitions to experimental design presented over the ten-day festival in Eindhoven (until 30 October 2022)
Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma, who has been working with wool for almost two decades, was invited by the municipality of Rotterdam two years ago to look into the possibilities offered by the wool of a flock of some 2,000 sheep owned by the city and used to keep the grass short in certain areas. In a bid to be as circular as possible, they wanted to do something with the 5,000 kg of wool the sheep produce a year.
During the research, Meindertsma also discovered how to machine 3D felt out of wool without using water. This innovation means larger objects can be created out of wool without the use of environmentally harmful foam rubber, for example. The project aims to instigate the creation of a home-grown wool industry and give value to local wool, something another Dutch designer, Claudy Jongstra, has been working on for many years also .
Innovative local manufacturer Nel has brought the chair into production in collaboration with Parry and is showing it at Piet Hein Eek’s studios during Dutch Design Week. The chair is sustainably produced in the Netherlands of high-quality and responsible materials, such as fabric from recycled woollen jumpers, chrome-free tanned leather from organically-reared cows and woollen fabrics from Kvadrat.
