“I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can’t look at hobbles and I can’t stand fences
Don’t fence me in
Poppa, don’t you fence me in”
Looking at the soft and tender, yet strong and powerful fence from the Dutch design house “Demakersvan“ this Bing Crosby song almost immediately popped in my head. This fence looks so wonderful but make no mistake it’s still a fence, meant to lock you up, like a jealous lover.
Still it is great to see how something which was meant purely functional can also be beautiful. Rejecting the throwaway nature and sameness in modern production, trying to retrieve that uniqueness that once existed among our things. At the same time, also try to balance the practice with possible industrial manufacture, so as to make the products available to the public.
