Klarenbeek & Dros
About the exhibition
Klarenbeek & Dros are pioneers in the field of material innovation setting new standards. They were the first designers worldwide to 3D print using the living material mycelium, a thread-like root structure found in fungi. Maartje Dros and Eric Klarenbeek are now combining this material with the characteristics of algae. Die Neue Sammlung is now presenting their first monographic exhibition.
Since 2004 the design duo have been exploring materials that protect the environment and promote biodiversity. They focus on new methods of production to manufacture climate-friendly, biocompatible and 100% biodegradable materials. Here they look to sustainable application in cooperation with local networks and manufacturers. Their aim is to use eco-technology in everyday life by realizing designs for indoor and outdoor spaces.
For ten years now, leading figures from the world of design have been creating distinctive, site-specific presentations for the Paternoster Hall each year.
After the likes of Konstantin Grcic, Werner Aisslinger, Hella Jongerius & Louise Schouwenburg, Friedrich von Borries, Ingo Maurer, Sami Haddadin and Paula Scher the Dutch design team Eric Klarenbeek & Maartje Dros now follow in their footsteps with a presentation of their works.
