Studio Hergebruik, Rotterdam
Around 1990 several young Dutch designers started work suddenly with waste
materials. Most known became Piet Hein Eek and Tejo Remy who formed, under
the influence of the punk movement, their resisted against the wasting
society and operating with a anti-design mentality. Except for aesthetic
reasons also ecological ideals (re-use) played an important role. This
development uses ideas from historical movements as the Pop Art and the
Art Povera.
At that time Eek and Remy were imitated a lot and nowadays there is again
a new generation that is using waste materials in their designs. For them
above all ideological goals are important. |
