Description
We believe waste doesn’t exist. That’s why we have decided to now also offer you the books that do not meet our quality standards. Instead of treating them as waste, we hope you still see their value and you don’t mind an ink spot, some bumps, or ink stripes. That’s why these copies are now available at a discount. See pictures for examples of the defaults.
These books have little damage, which means 1 spot/bump or stripe.
After working on seaweed research for more than 18 months, Nienke has collected all her findings in a book. During her quest to use seaweed to create a more sustainable textile industry, she was charmed by the beauty of seaweed as well as its great qualities. In this book she explains the differences between types of seaweed—illustrated with beautiful photos—and shows how it can be used in textiles. She hopes to inspire others to believe in this material that has so much potential.
![[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.
