Christien Meindertsma, winner of three major Dutch Design Awards, has made a series of objects that highlight the old craft of rope-making. This is a project commissioned by Thomas Eyck. With flax, the traditional Dutch material, she has made a hassock, a carpet, a candle, flex, towels and lamps. Each object restores the essence of rope and the production methods of spinning, weaving, plaiting and splicing.
