‘Breaksoap’ von Dave Hakkens ist aufgeteilt in kleine Seifen Portionen, die abgebrochen und separat benutzt werden können. So kann man die unansehnliche, alte Seife nebst des Waschbeckens vermeiden und sich das ständige Auffüllen des Seifenbehälters sparen. Eine lustige Idee, die außerdem ihren Zweck erfüllt.
Hakkens ist 23 Jahre alt, Student an der Design Akademie und lebt in Eindhoven.

The sculpture ‘Alias’ seems like a strange indefinable creature. It was created for the Orangery Palace Rheda by Miriam Jonas. In forty seconds rhythm the structure made of transparent PVC is filled with air from a blower. Once the fan is turned off, air escapes from the Sculpture and almost breathing, it seems as if it is has come to life.
