Dutch Invertuals exhibition presents designers' interpretations of "the circle"
Design collective Dutch Invertuals celebrates "the mother of all forms: the circle" with an exhibition of objects from fragmented mirrors to sculptural ceramics.
The Circle exhibition was initiated earlier this year to mark the tenth anniversary of the experimental design network, and featured objects created by more than 20 designers and studios.
These included a round table made from laminated slices of discarded veneer, a series of fragmented mirrors and a sculptural representation of a solar eclipse.
Shown first during Milan Design Week in April, and again at Dutch Design Week in September, the exhibition was curated by Dutch Invertuals founder and art director, Wendy Plomp.
Each contributor was invited to respond to the theme of the circle, described by the collective as "the ultimate symbol of unity, perfection and infinity".
"In times of division and inequity, the circle stands as an emblem of cooperation and connectivity," Dutch Invertuals explained .
"We need to re-enter its orbit to find what is fundamental in life. Interpreting the elemental form pushes each Invertual to identify what is essential to them."
The responses to this open brief ranged from a series of circular "3D rugs" by Nina van Bart that aim to stimulate the sense of touch, to a wall-mounted artwork by Daniël de Bruin that uses a light source and engine oil to evoke the "halo" effect created by a solar eclipse.
