Flutter
Transformed from a drawing to a hand-sewn sample, Flutter captures the twisting and turning action observed in a study of cascading feathers. The shape and gesture of floating objects, along with their corresponding shadows and seeming ability to defy gravity, spurred the nuanced colour mixing and changing density of the graphic.

Each strand of thread is placed strategically, in varying concentrations to indicate motion. Using five colours, the trapezoidal motifs are sewn at forty-five-degree angles and then obliquely pivoted on their axes across a twenty-yard frame, generating an open but equally spaced repeat featuring sixteen differing motifs.

Colour porcelain

Based on extensive research on Arita ceramics and an analysis of historical local masterpieces, Scholten & Baijings created a series named Colour Porcelain. Typical Japanese colours, such as aquarelle-blue, light green, red-orange and ochre, are recontextualised and applied in new combinations on a set of contemporary, highly functional tableware that in its entirety still reflect the typical Arita colour spectrum.
Layered colour compositions are carried out in various textures and shades of glaze and are combined with the natural white of the porcelain itself. Made with a delicate sense for local crafts and industry, Colour Porcelain shows an original European perspective on Japanese tradition.
