The Product
Using vintage plates and dishes as her canvases, designer Esther Derkx creates one of a kind works of usable art with her crockery collection. Each piece has been paired with one of her retro athletes, whose likeness has been lovingly screen-printed around the curves of each plate, dish, or bowl. Derkx chooses each pairing very carefully, complimenting the shape and pattern of the existing china with the flowing movement of her dancers, swimmers, gymnasts, and other energetic players. Not dishwasher or microwave safe.

The Designer & Manufacturer
Dutch product designer Esther Derkx takes pleasure in interfering with the lives of existing objects. Recognizing the potential in screen-printing, Derkx has tested the boundaries of the process by screen-printing onto everything from champagne flutes to toilet bowls. After spending seven years as a screen-printer, Derkx finally became an independent designer in 2000 and has since built a career that artfully combines various aspects of her backgrounds in antique furniture restoration, ceramics, and screen-printing. She lives and works in Utrecht in the Netherlands.
