Lace Fence
metal fabric & coated steel wire



What would happen if a patch of embroidered wire met with & continued as an industrial fence?



Hostility versus kindness, industrial versus craft.



Lace Fence gives new insights in how we can create new environments.

Floor is cut in a way that the seams create patterns.



Light Wind outdoor lamp

With every breeze it stores energy, enough to enjoy every summer evening until forever.

ABOUT US

We are plain but love the impossible.
We respect the old but want the new.
We want to challenge, confront the normal, the accepted, the expected.

We believe in fusing talented writers,
filmmakers, artists, and scientists
into a movement that will go beyond ego;
That will create a super story teller.

As designers we feel not limited to only one category.
We work with museums, architecture-, furniture- and fashion companies,
to commercial brands and self-initiated projects.
But wherever the starting point is,
challenging and beautiful products are always our aim.

Who does not know the truth, is simply a fool...yet who knows the truth & calls it a lie, is a criminal.
-Berthold Brecht (Galileo Galilei)

The person who loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping. -Issac Walton

Morality is not determined by majority vote.
-Pi Dialogue

I say that a man must be certain of his morality for the simple reason that he has to suffer for it. -Evan Esar

True compassion is more than throwing a coin to a beggar. It demands of our humanity that if we live in a society that produces beggars, we are morally commanded to restructure that society. -Martin Luther King Jr.

David LaChapelle

[pics: images.google.com)]

David LaChapelle was born in Fairfield, USA, in 1963.
He obtained his first professional photographic assignment thanks to Andy Warhol. He works in fashion, advertising and fine art photography, but is also known as a director of music videos.
His style is surreal but ironic, and his vividly-coloured photographs are often described as baroque and over the top, so that many people have dubbed him photography’s answer to Fellini.
