Brush pouf

Born from the designer’s fascination for mechanical creatures the collection consists of three carwash objects that can be experienced outside the mechanical space. By featuring their machinic – yet animistic qualities – Carlijn Olde Beverborg encourages people to build a relationship with objects.

In the carwash, mechanical tracks regulate us along the lines of machines. Where carwashbrushes take center stage and rhythmically show the cadence of mechanics. They fumble for the body of the car and a mating dance seems to flourish; As visitors are not

About Carlijn Olde Beverborg

Carlijn Olde Beverborg takes machines from their own habitat and translates them into the interior as objects. As they enter our home space, the objects become friends. They want to interact and to be seen outside their own territory. In her work, objects are considered equals, a source of intimacy and companionship. Since both –humans and objects– seem to struggle for their acknowledgment and presence the work compels you to think about the desire to see others and to be seen by others.
