Remastered Art

The current times also ask us designers to be aware of the materials we use.

With this fact as a starting point I redesign old Delft blue plates. They are often replicas or plates that were produced in large numbers during the 20th century and were in great demand during the heydays of Delft Blue. Everyone knows in their family someone who has a number of Delft blue plates hanging on the wall. However, they do not longer appeal to the imagination and after relocation they are often stored or given away. For this project, I apply a second layer to those existing plates, shifting the composition and giving it a sign of upcycling, but also immediately updating it: because even the "ingredients" of the pottery are mentioned. In addition, the wall plates are mounted on an earthenware base, so the function changes: from wall plate to fruit bowl or cake stand. Ofcourse with a nod: the craftmanship of upcycling Delftware stands again.
