Vegetable garden

Maarten Kolk has a vegetable garden that inspires his design practice. Bolted, the book he published in 2006, is based on the close observations of the developments of the plants in his own garden.

Commissioned by the Koninklijke Tichelaar porcelain factory of Makkum, Atelier NL worked out a similar idea. They created a series of plates and bowls made from local Dutch clays.

Design research in the Noordoostpolder: Atelier NL and Maarten Kolk

Dutch clay as a source of inspiration. The designers of Atelier NL and Maarten Kolk operate as biologists, archeologists and ethnologists during their design process. Invited by Jurgen Bey and Rianne Makkink, they spent a year in residence at a farm in the Dutch Noordoostpolder. They closely investigated the specific vegetation, historic roots and local culture, to create designs that are strongly rooted in this specific area.
