The ambition in my work is looking for a raw refinement. Within this, I take in account how an object can be considered finished or not, from my own view and from the view of the beholder. In the outcome of a design, I find it important that a human touch remains visible.his gives an object character and makes it more personal.

Flu" Stacks is a collaborative project with the Dutch denim brand G-Star RAW for their art platform The Art of RAW. During my collaboration with G-Star, my goal was to see if I could push the qualities of denim and show different possibilities of the material. When I started working together with them, I wanted to investigate their production system and see if there was a waste stream in denim that I could use. This leftover material was the perfect starting point to my project. While working with denim, I was curious to see if I could develop a new type of material. By using an old paper recycle machine I created denim pulp from old jeans. The pulp is mixed with a natural binder, giving the final material the solid result. The Flu" Stacks collection consist of the following three objects: a lamp, side table and a stool. By making three objects I wanted to show the possibilities within the staking of the material. To keep the focus on the material, I created solid blocks that are stacked on top of each other. To keep the build straight-forward the focus will stay on the material used, instead of the complexity of the shape and connections. By doing this it will be comprehensible for the viewer.
