2004  Competition  Concept  project   

“Niet alleen jezelf zijn” literally means "not only being yourself". It is a jumper for men, designed for a contest from the Dutch ministry of Social Being and Welfare. Theme of the contest was putting men more to work in their household.
The sweater is for fathers and their kids and allows the kids to climb, swing and play on their father. It is meant a straight and positive encouragement for men to play with their kids. The strength needed in the interaction confirms the man in his man-being. The straitjacket-look must be totally unintentional...

2004  TU Delft  Competition  Concept  project   

Yuri allows you to create short photo-sequences with sound/voice. Afterwards you leave these “souvenirs” behind, for your friend to find. While dropping it in the air you can set the radius of the “souvenir-area”. For instance leaving it in your favourite bar by the table where you and your friend always drink your Friday night beer. Knowing you left some kind of gift behind for your friend, evokes a feeling of excitement and joy.

2004  Competition  Concept  project   

PeriBallon is developed for an idea-contest by the city of The Hague. For the “day of architecture”, designers were asked to redesign a guarding-post for police-officers. All results had to be presented on only one A3-presentation poster. In two days, Thice and I developed a concept: PeriBallon. Emphasis in this concept lies on the interaction between the police-post and his (mostly architectural valuable) environment and on the interaction with people visiting the public space surrounding the police-post.
