WARM CYCLE_23 - DE STIJL 3D COLLECTION

TWO VECTORS OF DE STIJL:

- "THE OBJECTIVE OF NATURE IS THE CREATION OF HUMANKIND; THE OBJECTIVE OF HUMANS IS THE CREATION OF ART."

- THE IDEA OF ART AS A SEPARATE ENTITY FROM LIVING MUST DISAPPEAR - DESIGN DEMANDS TO FOLLOW CREATIVE LAWS BASED ON FIXED PRINCIPLES - ECONOMICS, MATHEMATICS, TECHNIQUE, CONTEXT, FUNCTION, MATERIALS. 

IN 1924, THE HAPPILY WIDOWED, AND EARLY INDEPENDENT, FEMININE FORCE, TRUUS SCHRODER TOOK HER NEW FOUND FREEDOM (BOTH SOCIALLY AND FINANCIALLY) TO DIVE FULLY INTO THE INTRIGUING, PRO ABSTRACT, DE STIJL (“THE STYLE” AVANT-GARDE GROUP, LED BY MONDRIAN AND VAN DOESBERG) ART AND ARCHITECTURE MOVEMENT, HIRING DESIGNER GERRIT RIETVELD TO BUILD A HOME IN UTRECHT THAT HUED FAITHFULLY TO THE RADICAL TENANTS OF THE GROUP’S DESIGN ETHOS.

TO THIS HOUSE, AND THE CONCEPTS AND DEVELOPMENTS THAT COMPOSE IT, KAROLINA AND JESSE VISITED TO FIND CREATIVE TREASURES; THEY WERE MOVED BY A MYRIAD OF DESIGN ASPECTS, INCLUDING VARYING LEVELS OF FACADE OPACITY, MULTI FUNCTIONALITY IN DISAPPEARING AND EXPANDING WALLS, ODDLY COUNTER-POSING ANGLES, AND A WHOLE, COHERENT WORK OF ARTISTIC CREATION (FROM THE FURNITURE TO THE EXTERIOR DESIGN VOLUME). 

KAROLINA + JESSE + TEAM HAVE TRANSLATED THESE SPATIAL IDEAS INTO THE CAPSULES AND INDIVIDUAL PIECES OF THE KZ_K STUDIO WARM CYCLE_23, DE STIJL 3D COLLECTION.
