Presentation Fundamentals of Makkum, Milan 2009

To contrast such highly exclusive tulip vases, produced in very limited numbers, Royal Tichelaar Makkum chose rather basic products for this year: a straightforward potterys service, developed with Atelier NL, in line with a tradition that has continued in Makkum until well into the 19th century; and two wood burning traditional tile stoves, as reinterpreted by Dick van Hoff. These products Arcadian charms demonstrate the beauty of local products and traditions. The tile stove will also be introduced in a hand painted version. The results have been shown to the world for the first time on the Salone del Mobile 2009 in Milan and are to be seen in our hop in Makkum from May 17th.
