The old reveals itself more clearly than the new, because time left out the noise. What at first can look as what you expect it to be can suddenly reveal itself in a different way. We started a new project when we moved our studio from tan old farm in the country to the old fruit deposit factory in Rotterdam. On the attic of the farm the former owner left some furniture. A chair that was stuffed in an attic for forty years and had gathered a million layers of dust. Like clockwork every day a layer of dust was added and eventually the Old got a new shape. If you could polish the top layer of dust you end up with a shiny and new chair, shaped by time.

Industrial production is a big source of inspiration. The Big Miracle of how some industrial products come about is a wonderful phenomenon if you look at it closely. The high tech machines are our hidden Cinderella’s. We make them work in robot lines, while they can be so much more. In the ‘Cinderella’ project that thought is translated. For making the table we used a high-tech method as our new modern “craft’. Sketches of old furniture are put into a computer that translates them into a drawing that can only exist in a digital world. The table is CNC cut on a three and partly five axes machine. It’s made out of 57 layers of birch multiplex and is finished by hand. It’s about attention and the possibility to make something unique with a machine that is normally used for mass production.

'refugee radio' is a radio for better communication in refugee camps, which is powered by the radiowaves. Therefore it is energy independent. Mareike Gast designed two versions for different situations: one complete radio for emergencies and one diy-kit for long-term camps. Both leave space for adaptation to different cultures and situations.

'broken shelves' provide a more natural way of shelving books since they can lean. books of any size find a perfect spot, while the reader can sit among them. A sandwich construction of two steel frames and mdf plates inbetween offer a freestanding shelf family. The steel gets a soft tactile surface by sandblasting and a wax-coating. The black mdf is oiled, which brings out a paper-like feeling. The shelves can be transported as a flat-pack and easily self-assembled.
