collection Avante
(SS18_SpringSummer 2018)
Avante is about moving forward. Continuing on when we get stuck: in the creative process, in a project, in life. It's daring to enter the labyrinth, getting lost, and not knowing exactly where we're going: trusting. Maintaining patience, enthusiasm, and persevering until we find ourselves again.
It's about inspiration, intuition, synchronicities-"coincidences," and the world of ideas.
The designs of this collection do not have a concrete or closed explanation, because it is a very abstract theme. They are a mixture of images and sensations. They talk about magic in the creative process. Disordered pieces that find an internal order to form "something", like a construction game. From chaos to order. Ideas that seemed to be there but reveal themselves when they choose. Are they ours or do they come from somewhere? Do we create the ideas or do we find them?
Cycles that repeat themselves: blank paper, concepts that are carved and polished until they acquire new forms, as if they were a mineral. Suddenly seeing it clearly. Nets that capture ideas. Invisible nets that appear when we dare to jump!
