Simone Post Experiments With Ceramics to Create the Lakenvaas for Cor Unum
Simone Post swaps mediums to create the Lakenvaas which resembles the shape of cloth hanging on a table.
Rotterdam-based Simone Post is a Dutch textile and product designer with an eye for graphic patterns and rich color palettes. Since graduating with honors in 2015 from the Design Academy Eindhoven, Post’s process-driven designs have led to collaborations with brands like adidas, Kvadrat and Vlisco. For the past year, she’s been collaborating with ceramic art center, Cor Unum, on an extensive research project with experimental materials. After much trial and error, the first product, the Lakenvaas, is available in seven solid colors and a splatter version. Each vase is made by hand to resemble a tablecloth thrown over a table with a wavy shape mimicking the rippling of hanging cloth. In this month’s Deconstruction, Simone Post carries us through the laborious process that results in the sculptural Lakenvaas.
The aim of this design was to give the ceramic, a hard and static material, the tactility and movement that defines textiles. The starting point was a perfectly smooth tablecloth falling off a round table, pleating in unexpected and sensual ways.
With textiles being my specialty and main working material I tried to discern a potential relationship between textiles and ceramics. It started with doing tests trying to shape the ceramics using textiles as a matter to mold.
