ORIGINE x BOYAC collaborate to present a series of vignettes that feature pieces by Portuguese design brand Collector in custom upholstery by french fabric house Métaphores. Each vignette is complemented with hand embroidered wall sculptures by Belgian artist and designer Marijke De Cock and a selection of objects by local independent designers. Together the vignettes explore a dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity, where intimate and time old acts are reimagined with a contemporary lense and made collective.
Participants
Métaphores
Editor and weaver of soft-furnishing fabrics, Métaphores transforms feelings into experiences. Métaphores fabrics are born of a subtle alchemy between a careful selection of raw materials, history and gesture. An innovator in weaving and fabrics for interior design, Métaphores is a celebrated brand belonging to Hermès’ textile division.
Collector
Born in Portugal, Collector produce both archival and contemporary furnishings that reflect traditional methods of furniture manufacturing with accurate industrial production methods. Their contemporary collection is designed both in-house and in collaboration with international creatives, including: Bernhardt & Vella, Federico Peri, Ferriani Sbolgi, Virginia Arlotto, Saccal Design House and Alter Ego Studio.
Marijke De Cock
Marijke De Cock lives and works in Antwerp, where she previously studied Fashion at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. She has been working for years as a designer within the team of Dries Van Noten, where she specialises, among other things, in the conception and creation of exceptional ornaments and jewellery. An engagement that in a sense inspired her personal practice. By adopting the established craft of hand embroidery, De Cock starts with an intuitive almost autonomous drawing that is studied like a map to then manifest a tangible object. The result, a distinctive series of abstracted wall sculptures, adorned with beads, that above all celebrate the desire to create.
