Table Decoration - "The Gardener"

The German porcelain manufacturer KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur) and the Berlin University of Arts UdK (Universität der Künste) initiated the project “Table Decoration” as part of the conference “Innovation Habitat”. The task was to create 10 concepts of table decorations for the closing dinner, to be realized in teams of 3 students. The concept should be realized with table cloth, objects of porcelain or chandeliers.

The team Amelie Hinrichsen, Raphael Guillou and Johanna Keimeyer created “The Gardener”, a scene of different meanings to inspire the phantasy and to encourage interaction of the round table.

The members of the dinner table are able to create scenes with the abstact main components of a watering pot and a gun, made of porcellain on the background of the blotted table cloth and napkins.

Sweet Childhood - "Punch Gorilla"

The lovely sweetness of stuffed animals is a symbol for childhood, growing up and tenderness. Just the projection of a child awakes the fabric with fill to life and implants feelings. The growth of plants in this work demonstrates real life and destroys the infantile illusion. The child’s phantasy is knocked out, the impartiality is ignored.
The stuffed animal won´t be asked – it only serves as a container for the soil of life. Just as kids grow up without being asked, if they want or not. Limits are exceeded.

“White Room”, France
At the Vitra Design Museum Workshop “1001 Meters“ directed by interior designer Sevil Peach, Johanna Keimeyer installed the “White Room“, inspired by the white fabric “Lime“ of workshop sponsor Kvadrat. Location was an abandoned farmhouse with an old fireplace, bird’s nest, harnesses on the wall and full of spiderwebs. She transformed the space into a puristic meditative oasis. The perfect place to escape from the French summer heat in an imaginary winter scenery. Johanna covered the entire space with the fabric and included the existing architecture and items. Thanks to Pablo Ulpiano Castro for his great support.
