The Forager's Tapestry

During the Renaissance, many carpets were incorporated into rich people's lives. They are depicted on walls, floors and on tables in paintings of that period. Some were specially made to be put on the table, and some are preserved and shown in the V&A Museum and the MET Museum.

Carpets are returning on modern homes' walls and floors, but can we also bring them back on the table?

​

Because no guilds prescribe what a carpet should look like or how it should be made, we can break loose from the traditional interpretation of a 'carpet'. While we're at it, let's also break with the custom of eating on plates and with cutlery.

​

'The Forager's Tapestry' is a textile landscape with relief, interrupted by monolithic shapes. Just like a forager, you pick your food out from the landscape. The tapestry invites you to participate in a finger food experience, changing the experience of eating.
