Tapestry art
In this collaboration with Moooi Carpets, curated by Wisse Trooster, the designers were challenged to create a two-dimensional limited edition tapestry art of their own work. The designers work within various disciplines: product design, art and graphic design, and with different materials: wood, ceramics, textiles and residual materials.
Dutch Design Week 2024 (19th till the 27th of October).
Location: SECTIE-C ATELIER 14-08 Daalakkersweg 2, 5641 JA Eindhoven.

Ivi van Keulen
Ivi van Keulen is a designer who explores the space between art and design. While she previously focused primarily on graphic work, both in art and design, she now creates compositions using fragments of damaged Delft Blue vases. For her tapestry art, she composed a piece using vases from the Royal Delft Moooi collection by Marcel Wanders.
Jana Kleine-Kalmer
From a young age, Jana Kleine-Kalmer explored various creative outlets. With a degree in interior architecture, she moved to Amsterdam in 2010 to collaborate with design icons Marcel Wanders and Piet Boon. Since 2021, she has been running her own practice. Her tapestries are based on her The Organic Sequences series, illustrations born from a desire to reclaim the time, physical, and mental space taken up by the pressures of the contemporary world.
Sofie Aaldering
Sofie Aaldering is a Dutch textile artist. She graduated with honors from the University of the Arts Utrecht in 2021. ELLE Decoration featured Sofie on the front cover as one of the artists to watch in 2024. Transforming materials such as tulle and mesh forms the basis of her designs. By exploring, altering, and using them in unconventional ways, Sofie creates art pieces that spark curiosity. In this project, Sofie is transforming her 3D art pieces into 2D tapestry art.
Teun Zwets
Teun Zwets is a designer who makes innovative use of waste materials. After graduating in 2020, he built his own exhibition and won the Kazerne Design Award in 2021. He works on various collections and custom projects and has collaborated with brands like G-Star and Piet Hein Eek. For his tapestry art, he partnered with AI to create a rug from his Splitted collection.
Wisse Trooster
Wisse Trooster has showcased his interior products in various places, from Piet Hein Eek to Rossana Orlandi, and in 2022, he won a Best of Year Award at Interior Design (NYC) with his sanding disc wall lamp. For several years, he has been curating and organizing exhibitions both in Milan, with Isola Design, and in the Netherlands. In addition to curating this exhibition, he is also participating himself, creating tapestry art from used sanding discs from Design Academy Eindhoven.
Moooi Carpets
All rugs combine an endless mix of colours thanks to the use of a groundbreaking high-definition Chromojet printer and its accurate tones, which generate a playful illusion of depth.
The collection counts on a broad variety of possibilities, being composed of three different families: Signatures, Custom, and Your Own Design. Each family group offers a number of different solutions to meet the many demands of projects and individual taste.
