The foundation of Re-Framed is a stunning series of decorative ceramic wall plates that redefine traditional decorative wall plates. This collaborative project that blends heritage with contemporary art will feature designs from both our own master painters and external artists and designers. The work of designer Bert Timmermans of Workingbert is showcased in the debut of this collaborative collection, in which he offers a modern interpretation of floral and foliage motifs. Timmermans employs a botanical eco-printing technique whereby hand-picked wild and cultivated plants are layered, pressed and steamed in rust water to leave distinctive imprints on paper. This produces detailed images with a painterly quality and unique, serendipitous marks made by the steaming liquid. The result: exquisite ceramic wall panels featuring Workingbert’s signature floral prints, rendered in hues that are a nod to Royal Delft’s iconic Delft Blue, renowned since the 17th century, and form a link with Royal Delft’s building ceramics from the early 1900s.
