‘The production process for tableware is at least as interesting as the end product is’, Maaike Seegers believes, ‘it’s just that as a user, you would not normally see it’. In Meltware, process and product collide. The bowl, the jar and the spoon made of stoneware are not just pieces of tableware, but they are also moulds to extend your set. The rest of the service is created out of Carnauba wax, a hard, natural, and waterproof wax made from palm trees. By heating this up in a flame-proof pan, it will liquefy and can be poured into the moulds to create new cups, plates, bowls and spoons. With Meltware you will make exactly as many as you need, so your kitchen cabinets will never be crammed with stacks of unused tableware.

For those who do not own a bathtub, but who do like to take a bath every now and then, this is the introduction of the Temporary Tub. This bathtub made out of PVC-coated polyester cloth can be hung from a hook in the bathroom wall and filled using the shower or a garden hose. The material and the water will shape each other, until the tub resembles a giant drop of water. The flexible material will follow the lines of your body and embrace it like a warm and protective hiding place. Temporary Tub is the ultimate place to relax. Once the bath is clean and dry it can be easily folded and stored.
