Lenneke Wispelwey, showed off her porcelain and paper designs during Dutch Design Week. Saccharine sweet ceramics and buttons are given a design led edge by Lenneke who also styles her own products, conjuring up nostalgic imagery of seasides, aunts living rooms and childhood. Her ‘interests’ detailed on her website give us an amusing insight into her design philosophy…
Foam-fountains, daisyflower-necklaces, shooting stars, Amelie, roadtrips, tropical cocktails, Portugal, put a smile on a sad face, mix and match, finding treasures, walk-in closets, handmade, old black and white family pictures, dinnerparty’s with friends, receiving mail the old fashioned way, foreign postcards, going to the theatre alone, pastel colours, fleemarkets, porcelain cups with colourful flowers and a golden rims, old records, cuckoo clocks, contrast, things that are so ugly they become beautiful again, clouds that look like bunny’s, italian icecream, my mothers apple pie, surprising a friend, dancing my butt off, Prince himself, kitsch…….
My favourite has to be ‘things that are so ugly they become beautiful again’… I want a ghosty button!
