Although the weather was not very helpful, I consider the photo shoot of The Fruit Experiment as a success. You can find the results on the dedicated project page in my portfolio. In this final blog post on The Fruit Experiment I would like to briefly evaluate the experiment guided by three questions. Has the experiment brought what I was… Continue reading Evaluating an experiment

Although my last blog post was about ‘the icing on the take’, as the photo shoot of The Fruit Experiment is getting closer, some final steps of the process are being completed. All the items of The Fruit Experiment are explicitly designed for individuals, they have chosen the fruit. Nevertheless, the items together form the… Continue reading Ready for the shoot

With The Fruit Experiment progressing fast, the last items are being crafted and finished. It is time for the icing on the cake. Now the pineapple design has taken shape as well, all items of The Fruit Experiment are nearly finished. With a theme (fruit) that is closely related to spring/summer and warm colours and… Continue reading The icing on the cake

This post is a quick (visual) update on how the items of The Fruit Experiment are evolving. As you could read in my last post, I am experimenting with different methods and materials to realise the designs. Some of the items are ‘easier’  than others and go faster to create. For some, it is hard to… Continue reading Fabrication process

The conceptualisation phase took some more time than expected, mainly due to external factors other than the project. But now the fabrication phase has finally started, I would like to share some first experiences with you. When the concepts became more clear during the autumn, time had come to start finding the right pieces of… Continue reading Concepts taking shape

As the leaves are turning brown and rain is dropping all day long, time moves on, and so does The Fruit Experiment. Ideas are becoming concepts. After the models had chosen their fruits, I started looking for inspiration, collecting images to create moodboards, tasting pieces of fruits, and sketching the first ideas. During this period, I met… Continue reading Ideas becoming concepts

  In previous posts I have explained the principles of The Fruit Experiment and the reason why I started this initiative in the first place. Now I would like to introduce to you the fruits that were picked by the selected ‘models’.   HUGO – KIWI Hugo chose the kiwi as inspiration for The Fruit Experiment.… Continue reading Models choosing fruit

As I am gathering inspiration for the designs of The Fruit Experiment, I start to value more and more the great colours mother nature has gathered in fruits.  Most fruits are not monochromatic. They display many different colours, and saturation levels. Maybe the most fascinating of this, is the way a piece of fruit can change… Continue reading Fruity colours

How a museum visit can lead to a book, and how a book can lead to a creative experiment. This post explains you the story behind The Fruit Experiment. On Sunday the 3rd of May 2015, one of my study friends and I visited the Museum of Contemporary Art & Design in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. The… Continue reading From museum visit to The Fruit Experiment via a book

This blog is partly intended to share updates on running initiatives. The first creative initiative that I will closely share with you is The Fruit Experiment. This post explains what this experiment is all about. The Fruit Experiment is all about FRUIT. For me fruit is inspirational in the way it looks, smells and tastes. It is… Continue reading The beginning – The Fruit Experiment
