PROJECTS:

Functional print collection designed for workwear (corporate wear) for a fictional company within a self-chosen sector, inspired by the interior where I was at the moment. I converted the photographed objects into drawings by hand and traced it digitally. Prints were in repeat and placed, using techniques like: enlarging, reducing, mirroring, etc. The prints are placed in the looks I have made (think of position, combining several prints).

C.H.I. is a high end tea company which is as much a gathering place for tea lovers as it is a company to find great tea for high end fashion companies. The prints are visualising the function of my company.

The color choices are inspired by the three objects I photographed. Most of the colours are earth toned, that bring your mind in peace. On one hand, heritage colours that express culture and identity will remain key. Red is pernnially important to China, so it will be the lead color for a direction to identity. Besides that we pick classic neutrals that will complement palettes across multiple seasons. This colorcard communicate modern Chinese values, a palette which emphasis self-expression, diversity and self presence. Nature-inspired colours tap into a growing focus on sustainability and they will also resonate with the traditional chinese flowers and rocks motifs.

Three chosen interior objects:
- Glass Lily Flower Chandeliers Lampshade: Reminds me of drinking tea of drinking tea at grandma’s house.
- Ceramic Water Drop Teapot: Interesting water drop shape and handle. Traditional graphics and handwritings.
- Porcelain Tea Set With Lily And Rocks: Hand painted with elegant wild lilies and rocks, often seen in Chinese yard.
