Dutch design is world renewed for its conceptual, almost art-like products.
A great example is this fence by Joep Verhoeven for Studio Demakersvan.
La Fence is strong enough for outdoor use, yet soft enough for interior use.
The fence can be used as room divider, a staircase railing, as building siding or even fencing.
Read the (technical) story behind the fence here or on the site of the makers.
Working out of Rotterdam, Demakersvan (“the makers of”) is a Dutch design house founded in 2005 by Jeroen Johan Verhoeven, Joep Verhoeven and Judith de Graauw. Its work is not limited to one category or style. Rather, this firm’s diversified portfolio includes architecture, furniture and product design for museums, architectural studios, furniture manufacturers and fashion companies, as well as self-generated projects.

It looks like lace has been draped over that building. Stunning! Wish I could touch it to see how it feels.
