Nadine’s work is a fusion of the natural, the technical and the emotional world. She finds in nature’s functions, and solutions an endless wealth of ideas. Translating her inspiration into versatile and feasible designs, she is able to produce objects that fascinate both the mind and the soul.

Observation, thought and realization are the key features of Lonny’s design process. Everyday things that most people take for granted. Details that go unnoticed. These are the sources of her inspiration. The desire to awake consciousness for underestimated values and experiences guides her to create objects capable to carry people away, into her world.

ZandBank/ SandBank – Atelier NL

One of their projects is:
ZandBank/ SandBank – Atelier NL
The glass industry uses only white, pure sand for the manufacturing of glass. This type of sand can only be found in a small number of sand quarries around the world. As part of the Sandbank project, Atelier NL is experimenting with various local, non-pure sands.

Sand from different locations produces different colors, patterns, and textures. Melted in the oven the sands fracture, foam, and harden into crystallization patterns. With SandBank Atelier NL explores the potential of these new material variations.
Their research is focused on the abilities and future potential natural wild sands have within them, due to the varied mix of minerals, metals and other components that are attached to the grains. 

The deceptively simple act of transforming sand into glass reveals stories of the grains themselves and their dazzling diversity, stories of deep time and endless change.
