Everyday artefacts made through simple actions such as perforating, folding, splitting, …
Diane Steverlynck and Maud Vande Veire have continued to explore their “Wood Screws & Frills” pieces, previously designed by them to fit into the OpenStructures system. They have added new materials of everyday life to their existing system, that are «bent» with a simple interventions into new objects. Using what is available as a guiding principle, it becomes possible to connect the wood screws with other existing objects or spatial elements. According to use, the they can be shaped in different ways, combine diverse elements and vary in size.
STACKS
Second-hand crockery parts are connected to the wood screws and become practical containers with sculptural qualities.
They can be hung, placed, or squeezed onto existing shelves or furniture parts.
TWISTS
A screw and twisted rope share visual and physical analogies. Both have a spiral-like structure and are made to keep things together. Like the screw which is screwed and unscrewed, the twisted rope can tighten or loosen its twist. In “Twists”, we use this tightening/loosening principle to form objects ranging from masks to suspension systems.
HEDGES
“Hedge” is a series of baskets and containers conceived with a combination of wood screws and grid fence.
With a minimal amount of connecting points, the folded fence material is screwed together into different types of containers.
