Industrial Lace

A friend let me know of the creative pursuits of the Dutch design house Demakersvan .  Designer Joep Verhoeven  entwines the  harshness of the industrial with the beauty and intricacy of lace.  Demakersvan states: 

Fencing is a sign how we modified and cultivated our environment.  Like brambles fences are rising rampantly around us  What would happen if a patch of embroidered wire would meet with and continue as an industrial fence?  Hostility versus kindness, industrial versus craft.

 A truly inspired design idea.  I'd love to see some in Australia.  

For more on Demakersvan's lace fences see 3Rings  and Art Propelled blog posts.
