‘Mourning takes time’
The starting point of the installation was the link between the changing beauty of the influence of the dye on the orchids and the mourning process, a visualization of the overwhelming feeling that temporarily takes control over your entire body.
VG Colors’ unique method of influencing the flowering beauty of the orchid inspired Willemijn de Wit and Ulrike Jurklies to visualize an experience that is so difficult to describe in words.

Concept pitch for the Dutch Design Week 2019
We created an experiential space which offered multiple perspectives. We challenged the visitor to collect his/her personal views and immerse into the world of BOLON.
The yarns used in the collection have a subtle gloss, providing a shimmering effect as light reflects off their woven surfaces; this in combination with the moving, colourful mirrors make the installation unique and constantly changing.
The visitor wants to stay for a while to enjoy the spectacular views.
A 30-meter-long, high-quality wallpaper additional 3D objects inspired by skate obstacles cut from left-over foam and flocked with colours matching the wallpaper.
Visitors were invited to walk through this installation, linger in the space or seat on the foam obstacles to enjoy the view.

Disposition is a word with multiple and varied meanings. It describes one’s position in (a) space; the arrangement, positioning or distribution and one’s frame of mind or spirit.
Disposition (also) refers to: a natural or acquired tendency, inclination or habit in a person or thing. Also, disposition refers to the act of disposing or transfer to another.
All these descriptions apply to the colourful installation created by Ulrike Jurklies; an experiential space which offers multiple perspectives and which challenges the visitor to collect different views.
Location: Maastoren staircase
Rotterdam – floors 18 to 26

By using mirror stripes; the viewer (and the mirrored environment) becomes part of the installation.

[ba hoe] …an expression of affirmative excitement and joy, usually as a reply to good news. Can also be used as greeting.
This definition from the urban dictionary perfectly expresses the overarching theme of this installation.
The space was filled with a colourful exhibit. Many meters of digitally printed eco-fabrics — showing the principles of the production process past and present in an abstract manner — draped on special designed display frames and showroom furniture. Throughout the installation concept economical and environment-friendly material use had the highest attention.

In the shop windows of de Bijenkorf in Eindhoven you can see furniture and objects, known from the project ‘See-through’ presented during Dutch Design Week 2017.
All these products were made from leftover material from the production of colored plastic sheets. Because of the different color gradients during the process, every object is unique.
The print on textile was produced by large-format print expert BIG Impact, 100% made from recycled PET bottles, printed with water-based ink.
