I saw Floris’ vases for the first time during the Dutch Design Week (DDW). They are magnificent objects that emerge from a machine Floris had designed and operated himself. Normally, machines produce identical products surrounded with very little love. But that is not true in Floris’ case. The vases are almost his children. We got talking and soon moved from the idea of putting his vases on display and selling them from our place to thinking about a new machine: a completely different machine; a machine that actually works the other way around.
This ‘other-way-around-machine’ was initially driven by our garage press but then a sledgehammer had to be brought in and now everyone can hammer their own bowl. Every blow creates a pattern in the edge of the bowl. The first blow was struck by our first dealer Cok de Rooy of the Frozen Fountain and by doing so he made the first bowl.
