Lilian Van Daal
Product designer Lilian van Daal bridges with her work the natural and the artificial - or designed - world. She experiments with innovative technologies and materials in order to meticulously mimic nature. With the resulting objects she aspires to reveal nature’s rich library of solutions. The emphasis is on the imitation and adjustment of structures to optimize production methods in a sustainable way.
She also focuses on the reconnection with nature in our daily environments. It is scientifically proven that surrounding ourselves with ‘naturalness’ is beneficial for our physical, mental and emotional health. While people benefit from their connection with the natural world, the environment also benefits when people feel connected and comitted to caring for the Earth.
To achieve this, she collaborates with scientists, biologists, universities, architects and commercial companies.
