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:
The beauty of the volatile and imperfection
Classic shapes, peaceful decorations
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.”
Debbie Wijskamp studied product design at ArtEZ art academy in Arnhem. After her graduation in 2009 she started her career as an independent designer. She designs and produces her own collection of handmade interior products and does commission work for companies and brands
