To gain insight into Mae Engelgeer’s intuitive process is to see her in the rich context of 21st century Dutch design, and her reverence for the craft and artisans associated with each material interaction. From her fearless experiments in real time weaving at the TextielLab in Tilburg to her immersion in indigenous processes for Kyoto kimono silk and Nepalese rugs, Engelgeer opens herself and, in turn, us to new design outcomes.
