Dutch Designer Daniel van Dijck will launch the tableware series Eccentric Plates at Designboom
Mart during the Tokyo Designers week 2014 www.tdwa.com
Tokyo, October 2014 - During the 29th edition of the Tokyo Designers week 2014 (25 October till 3
November) the Dutch designer Daniel van Dijck will present the tableware series Eccentric Plates for the
first time to the marketplace at the Designboom Mart Tokyo 2014.
“The Designboom Mart is a unique interactive platform for emerging and established designers to test
their new ideas. Visitors are not only able to meet the young avant-garde designers and become familiar
with their work, but also buy self-produced or limited edition pieces directly from the creators
themselves”.
The tableware series Eccentric Plates by Daniel van Dijck consists of four different, unique, handcrafted
decorative plates and dinner plates, which are made of various materials such as ceramics, copper and
brass. The tableware does not only assist our daily ritual of food consumption, but also symbolizes the
processes that happen in our body while eating. Some effects are more extreme than others; some plates
are more eccentric than others. The series as a whole evokes associations to well-known dining attributes,
but can also be surprising due to their eccentric appearance.
Daniel van Dijck’s tableware series is handmade in the Netherlands and comes in varying sizes.
The Rough Edge Plate
(Dinner Plate)
Created by the process of using an existing
plate for press molding
The Copper Plate
(Dinner Plate)
Created by the process of using a flexible
casting mold. During the casting the weight
of the clay shaped the mold, which makes
every plate unique
The Quid Feci? Plate
(Design Souvenir)
Created by the process of using small
bubbles in the casting clay, which later
melted away in the oven
The Wrinkled Plate
(Design Souvenir)
Created by the process of using a
combination of a flexible casting mold and
casting brass

About Daniel van Dijck
Born in s’-Hertogenbosch (1986), Daniel is an interior designer & artist living in The Hague. In 2013, he
finished his Bachelor degree in interior Architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague, and
currently he is pursuing the Master Material Utopias, at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam.
“The starting point for my designs is an exploration into the history of an object and, the way it has been
used over the years. I play with the assumptions people may have when approaching a piece of furniture
or an object by using unconventional materials or conventional materials in a renewed way. This method
creates designs that are tactile, impressive and aesthetically arresting.”
