This just in from Justine Hand at Design Skool:
Conceived by Dutch designer Chris Meindertsma for Thomas Eyck, the Flax Project is an inspired series celebrating this important textile. For hundreds of years, flax was a dominant industry in the Netherlands, and as an homage, Meindertsma set out to create a collection of products made from Dutch flax. Working in collaboration with traditional rope maker Touwslagerij Steenbergen and woodworkers Kuperus and Gardner, Meindertsma dreamed up a line of lights, ottomans, and rugs made from flax. To see the entire Flax Series, go to Thomas Eyck.
