The Cormoradeship Collection is a set of tools that help to sense to be one of the animals within your surrounding ecosystem. You are a part of this landscape.

This design project is not about the objects themselves, but about what they enable me to do.

The inspiration comes from my own experiences of ‘Waldeinsamkeit’, where you feel to be engulfed by the wave of nature which then runs, flows and meanders through your body, replacing thought with emotion; with feeling.

The goal was to bring this experience from remote wilderness to the tamer landscapes that most of us actually inhabit.

In order to create these new experiences, I followed, studied and lived with my Cormorant neighbours in the dunes of Meyendel in The Hague for half a year.

By putting you in the right place, the right position, the right state of mind, these tools give the Human Animal access to a range of new recreational experiences:

To perch, to dry, to lurk, to nest and to fly.
