”Dat kan mijn kleine nichtje ook”(My little niece can do that too), a statement which haunts museums and exhibitions. A statement to classify one’s work as tinkering, but is this statement as negative as we think it is.

What is the deviding line between tinkering and design?

In this project I researched the positive aspects of tinkering and how I could acquire these in product design. By translating tinkering techniques into production techniques, I translated the tinkering atmosphere into product design. With these 2 furniture pieces I want to let the viewer experience the joy of making with a work that also puts the statement ‘’Dat kan mijn kleine nichtje ook’’in a different light and wonders whether this comment is as negative as it seems.

My name is Joni, I’m product designer who looks for the fun and humor in certain materials, products or statements that relate to product design. I try to incorporate these themes in my products through experimental research combined with childish curiosity. My products are mainly intended to provide her environment with a cheerful and humorous touch.
