Liked to put the throne back on the surface again, because since in ages I looked up close again to our dear Queen Beatrix yesterday at the National Ballet! A while ago I designed for my graduation in 2004 at the Design Academy Eindhoven a throne for our Queen. The throne has been exhibited with twenty-four other thrones on a national traveling exhibition. The throne itself has a minimalist form. A contrast with the laser-cut decorative wooden shapes. This was one of the four projects I graduated with. Together with an art bags project, frame lamps and an artistic photoshoot. Because of my label EAH! I am pigeonholed as an accessory designer only. But in fact I use to design basically everything. This project was the reason that I started working with laser-cut technology. I draw dessins with the computer program "Illustrator" based on the royal coat of arms. These were laser cut from wood. The throne is made of beech wood. My master teacher Anthon Beeke recommended to work with Idlaser. Since then I continued to work with the fantastic laser cut technology. Plexiglass handles, jewelry components all sketched up in the computer and then later also lasercut designed leather dresses. Just liked to share it. Should start making some thrones and lamps again...
