Design label Volmaakt proudly presents ‘Tsunagu つなぐ’: a new lighting collection. The series is the result of an intensive collaboration between Volmaakt and Dirk van Gogh's team (Futures through Design, HOGENT / KASK & Conservatorium). Tsunagu is inspired by Japanese craftsmanship, which focuses on the emotional connection between people and objects. This is in line with Volmaakt's mission. The Ghent design label only produces within the social economy.
The design collection ‘Tsunagu つなぐ (connect, verbinden)’ closely matches the atmosphere inherent in the Japanese world of meaning associated with lamps made from paper and wood. The meaning refers not only to the physical, ingenious wood connections, but also to the forging of relationships and emotions. The choice of materials (wood and paper), the refined design, and the social manufacturing process create an emotional bond that encourages the user to cherish the object for a long time.
