Margaret Kropholler (cover designer), Wendingen, series 10, no. 5-6, 1930.

Margaret Staal-Kropholler, frequently referred to as Margaret Kropholler, (1891–1966) was the first woman in the Netherlands to practice as a professional architect. See more issues of Wendingen in the Online Archive: oa.letterformarchive.org/?dims

Cover of a square magazine with brown ink printed on tan paper. The title, “Wendingen” is rendered in multiline rectangular letterforms and sits on large multiline stripes that tarverse most of the surface. Inside one of the stripes’ turns is a smaller text that reads “J F Stall” and “29”.
Back cover of the magazine. The stripes continue along the top and bottom of the page. At the left end of each are the numbers “1925” and “1929”.

Recently, I made a box for the Association of Dutch Designers @bno_nl, as a retirement gift for a colleague. She received such an overwhelmingly amount of retirement cards, that we decided to make an additional one. 🎂🍰

The box is covered with cream natural linen from Van Heek textiles and lined with pink Toile du Marais from Winter Company.

Hendrik Wijdeveld, Wendingen, series 6, no. 6, 1924.

Dutch architect Hendricus Theodorus Wijdeveld was the editor and frequent designer of the groundbreaking magazine (named “Upheaval” in Dutch). This issue was devoted to Irish furniture designer and architect Eileen Gray. See more Wendingen covers in the Online Archive: oa.letterformarchive.org/?dims

Cover of a square magazine with a cord binding. The inks are purple and teal, and the title “Wendingen” and “Eileen Gray” are in rectangular, high stroke contrast style with no curves.
Verso page of an inside spread showing photos of Eileen Gray’s furniture designs with captions in Dutch.

Back cover of the magazine repeats the front cover design but in reverse and without the large text. A small line reads, “Meubelen en Interieurs” [Furniture and Interiors].

A box in a box made for the Association of Dutch Designers @bno.nl as a retirement gift for a colleague.

The box is covered and lined with natural linen, the inner box or cradle with pink Toile du Marais, produced by @vanheektextiles and @wintercompany_group. Both the box and the series of multi-coloured retirement cards are foil blocked in white.

Textile and print designer by origin, now also developing 3D printed textile related products. Such as these here. Some of my clients look into reproducing the image literally, others use the graphical patterns (weavers mostly), scan it in 2D (for inkjet printing) or scan it in 3D (for vinyl embossing). After thirty years still surprising sometimes what my clients see in my designs. ☺️
