Jólan van der Wiel makes designs with the help of natural phenomena. For his Gravity Collection, he works with gravity and magnetism. He mixed liquid plastic with iron filings and put it in the Gravity Tool, a machine he developed that is equipped with a large magnet. This, as it were, pulls the iron filings out of the liquid, until it has sufficiently solidified. This creates unique pieces with unpredictable shapes, which make invisible forces of nature tangible.
