Blauw Bloesem

According to designer Debbie Wijskamp there is a lot of beauty hidden in volatile things and in imperfection. Her crockery set Blauw Bloesem is a beautiful example.

Debbie usually designs interior objects, so she had very little experience with tableware. This project for Heinen Delfts Blauw has proven to be a great opportunity to further explore her creativity. “I started looking for a design that matches the ambitions and the audience of Heinen Delfts Blauw and something that still carries my signature as a designer. I created mood boards and they formed the basis for my designs.”

Blauw Bloesem Dipping bowl

According to designer Debbie Wijskamp there is a lot of beauty hidden in volatile things and in imperfection. Her crockery set Blauw Bloesem is a beautiful example. The tableware set Blauw Bloesem is recognized by the classic, round shapes and soft lines. This brings out the best of the textures and the Delft blue decorations. “Usually you find large decorations on Delft Blue tableware, but I wanted to put the focus on small details and place these on one side of the pottery. It is as if the design is crawling out of the edge. This creates a peaceful look. It also makes the decoration visible when the item is being used while eating or drinking. Imagine you are preparing a beautiful meal, where you place the food in the middle of the plate, without covering the decoration.” THIS TABLEWARE IS DISHWASHER, MICROWAVE AND OVEN SAFE.

Excavated pottery

Debbie always loves to explore new possibilities of the materials she works with. “I often work with natural materials and textures. Blauw Bloesem (Blue blossom) is inspired by century old crockery sets and excavated pottery. I think it's beautiful when you can see that pottery has a history and that it has been used. I love the texture of pottery that has stayed underground for a long time. It is special to see what time does to an object. It is as if you are holding a rough stone in your hand, instead of a polished cup or saucer.”

Debbie Wijskamp, designer of the tableware set Blauw Bloesem:
