The “Bubble Clock” originated from experimenting with a two component polyurethane. A special mould controls the shape which is removed afterwards. The items are unique in color, shape, and appearance. Due to the experimental way of producing these objects, the visual outcome is always a surprise.
Available in five colours: blue, brown, green, orange, or pink.
Teun Zwets\' creations are made on the spot, with materials that are available on-site and no time to lose. The speed of the process is crucial for him to stay focused. The idea and design of most pieces in his collection were made in less than a day. Instead of embracing conceptual design, these interior items celebrate the practical. A vast variety of materials are glued, screwed or tied together to build objects that are needed.
As Belgium is a small country without a very distinctive, nationalistic pride, artists and designers can work in complete freedom. There’s no higher purpose to be served. Creations can be the most individual expression of the most individual emotion. Thanks to this liberal creative climate – in combination with a strong, historical artistic tradition and qualitative art schools – Belgian art, design, and its collectors have gained international recognition for their avant-gardism. Besides, Belgium has always been a melting pot of different cultures, combining both German and Roman influences. This historical context gives designers the opportunity to colour outside the lines and outspokenly explore the borders between art, design, crafts, and industry. Strict typologies are left behind; rather, banal materials are transformed for a high-end context and meaningful stories are transmitted as an extra emotional layer. In doing so, these emancipated creations break out of traditional frames of reference, open up to everyone, and stand with both feet in our multicultural and multi-layered contemporary society.
