About "Food" Sign

The Diskus collection was designed in 2007 in collaboration with Nicole van Schouwenburg of Skylla. The collection consists of various plates, each featuring a different proposition for discussion. These plates are an invitation to spark interesting discussions and get the conversation going with family and friends during dinner.

The plate reads:
To me, food is the best thing life has to offer; in fact, I eat, therefore I am. If I ask you about the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten, I’m sure you felt very alive at that moment, with all your senses awakened. In love, or proud after a presentation, or safe after an ordeal. The dish itself hardly matters.

De Porceleyne Fles in Delft

Transfer: from design to screen print

Centuries-old craftsmanship lives on in De Porceleyne Fles. The screen printing technique, with its origins in eighteenth-century England, is still an essential part of the decorating process. Here, heritage, precision and craft come together in every ceramic object.

The design

The design

Even when the screen printing technique is used, the hand of the Royal Delft master painter is still part of the design. The first design is put on paper with a brush, using the same black paint. Once a final design has been made, it is sent to the printer. The printer scans it digitally and then turns it into a screen print.

The screen print

The screen print

This is divided into four separate layers for the four different shades of blue. It is then printed onto plastic films, and the films are exposed onto a screen printing frame. In this way the design transfers from the film to the frame. This is done four times for the different shades of blue, after which a carrier layer is added on top. That carrier holds the entire design together.

Applying and firing

Applying and firing

The transfer is then applied to the glazed product, after which it fuses with the glaze layer during the second firing.
