Description
The blankets’ patterns are drawn by hand, so they are irregular and unique throughout. To capture the organic feel of skin, Nienke worked with natural materials like mohair, linen and cotton. A hand-sewn silk border finishes the blankets.
The HIDE pink small has no fringe, but is finished with hand-sewn silk on all sides.
Woven in the TextileLab of the Textielmuseum in Tilburg.
Handwash on 30°C. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron.
![[WONDERLUST]
With our new project [WONDERLUST] for @wiedewold, we aim to offer visitors a fresh perspective on the value of nature. The furniture is crafted from pine wood sourced from Norway spruce trees. In Echtenerzand, a local natural reserve, many trees of this species were felled last winter due to infestation by the bark beetle. This beetle damages the trees by tunneling through the wood, disrupting the tree’s sap flow and causing it to weaken and die. The patterns on the furniture are inspired by the characteristic shapes created by the bark beetle in the wood.
On the table, we showcase different forest finds, things that surprised us with their natural beauty. Do you ever take the time to wonder about these small details while wandering through the forest? In this exhibition, you can observe all these tiny beauties.
By providing a new perspective on the local surroundings, we hope to stimulate a dialogue about the future of the countryside and the role of nature within it.
