From Autumn to Spring - NEL VERBEKE
From Autumn to Spring consists of two monumental vases (Model 52 weeks 11/97-11/98 and Model 12 months 09/89-09/90). Visually, the two designs allude to archetypical, ancient appa- ratus; a reference which is emphasized by the copper details of the vases’ supporting structures. The layeredness of their bodies – the variating intensity of the earthly coloured, horizontal seg- ments – is a poetic and intimate translation of the amount of rain, fallen during a de ned period of time on the soil of a speci c geographical place. The works both echo a personal narrative, materializing a cherished memory, and the progress of our lives in general.
As such, they are to be considered as prototypes: suggestions for a customized variation, de ned by the rainfall of any chosen period and place.
The two vases are contemporary relics: tangible memorials for passed times and lives. But, by making them utile, they also become, explicitly, part of today and tomorrow and provide us with a serene and introspective moment, devoted to contemplating the time which already passed and the time we may still be granted.

DESIGNER BIO
BRUT Collective
Bram Vanderbeke (b.1991), lives and works in Ghent, and graduated in 2016 from the Design Academy Eindhoven. His work is diverse, and has a sculptural and monumental form of language. Bram explores and reforms relationships between object, environment and user, and plays with materials, form and functionality. His objects are artistic manifestations in which their functionality is not delineated.
Ben Storms (b.1983) lives and works in Antwerp. Thinking in terms of matter, he tends to assemble form, material and technique in a way that is both innovative and compelling. Ben prefers to start with one material and then look at it without prejudice. His research is similarly uninhibited, ensuring he captures all the possibilities the material has to offer. By probing its boundaries to and beyond the limits, he creates a rather surprising language of form.
Charlotte Jonckheer (b.1988) works on various design projects with flexible partnerships. Her main focus is the emotional value sparked by the use of a design object. Inspired by nature and human behaviour, she plays with anticipation and familiarisation to create designs that intrigue their user and activate interaction.
Linde Freya Tangelder (b.1987) is originally from the Netherlands but is based in Brussels with her studio, destroyers/builders. With a focus on materiality, the studio strives for sensory relevance and cultural value in detail and on a larger scale. Her works have a sculptural and architectural character and are on the edge of contemporary material use and traditional crafts. Working with a wide range of materials – high and low-valued – new values arise. Linde Freya develops objects and projects, based on a method from where material and objects can grow into architectural interventions. She opens up traditional usage and transforms knowledge into new ways of bringing an object closer to our senses. The studio takes on projects that range from limited editions to commissioned projects.
Nel Verbeke (b.1989) lives and works in Brussels. With a background in visual art and a specialisation in design and design research, Nel is primarily a concept designer. Balancing between arts and design, her vocation will always be the emotional potential of shape and space. Fascinated by conceptual thinking, she shies away from the obvious focus.
