Dutch clay as a source of inspiration. The designers of Atelier NL and Maarten Kolk operate as biologists, archeologists and ethnologists during their design process. Invited by Jurgen Bey and Rianne Makkink, they spent a year in residence at a farm in the Dutch Noordoostpolder. They closely investigated the specific vegetation, historic roots and local culture, to create designs that are strongly rooted in this specific area.
