A unique production of unique vases
Presented at the Dutch Design Centre (DDC) in Utrecht the 3rd-10th and the 11th of September:
Unlimited Edition | A unique production of unique vases.
Designed by Pieke Bergmans & Madieke Fleuren, August 2007.
Madieke Fleuren & Pieke Bergmans where selected to enter a working period at the EKWC (European Ceramic Work Centre) in Holland. Working together for the first time, Madieke and Pieke explored all the possibilities at the EKWC. They experimented with various machines, techniques and materials, which they had never used before. A major goal of their stay at the EKWC was to develop a production-process that would produce individual objects. It resulted in a series of vases that is titled ‘Unlimited Edition’.
“We designed various templates that we place into an extrusion machine. Thus, the machine extrudes endless tubes of clay. Because of the speed and flexibility of the clay, the tubes force themselves in maximum and almost impossible conditions and shapes. We cut the tubes of the extrusion-machine and place them onto a drying table. Because we have researched the quality and max-deformation of this clay, we have managed to develop a new product that is always unique but can be mass-produced: an Unlimited Edition.”
