"The rituals and traditions around an object fascinate me. I'm aiming for products that have potential for everyday use, but are flavoured with a sparkle of unexpectedness."

Celine de Waal Malefijt

 Education: Industrial Design, University of Technology Eindhoven

Public space, spatial poetry, sensual technology

 

"When designing, I see the world as a theater and users as the actors in the play of interaction. I stimulate improvisation and aim for refreshing interpretations"

 

Jorien Kemerink

Rich interactions, adaptable living, human perception

 

"I would like to see technology that is subtly woven into our environment, enhancing the experience of being in that space and time. More personal and intuitive."

Illusions of a small world

The design of a dynamic insect city for the dutch design week 2010. An expo where our sense of \'taste\' was challenged by our visual input. In cooperation with Amaro Industries.

this miniature city houses different insect species. the buildings are connected by transparent 'highways' to motivate the insects to mix and move around.
The overheads display silhouettes of the insect movements on all surrounding walls
illuminated by 10 overhead projectors, a transparent insect city takes shape
freshly made insect sushi and tempura are served to the visitors
Viewers can look at the swarming insects from behind a large window, and can also experience a new taste sensation by trying one of the cook's insect specialties.
BUG sweets - chocolates and special lollies containing edible insects.
Visitors are on one hand looking down on the small insects, but are on the other hand drawn inside their world, through the large reflections in the space.
