HOW&WOW Linen
This two-piece production contains a journey through Dutch agriculture showing the course from flax till linen and its exceptional versatile use. Its mysteries hidden in almost forgotten knowledge, revolts back in inevitable ways. HOW starts with the delicate blue flower and will introduce you to ancient techniques among which are rippling, winnowing, retting, scutching and heckling combs. WOW shows an experimental search by designers and artisans encountering tradition and new perspectives. Emphasising flax, linen and linseed oil’s potential relevance.
