A group of independent designers from Eindhoven united by their common vision in design, will present their latest work in Milan during the Salone del Mobile.

In collaboration with the Italian label Verger, these former Design Academy students will show that design originates from exploration, taking familiar materials out of their usual context and putting them to use in an uncommon and therefore surrealistic way. Cardboard is used as carpet, vegetable juices are transformed into ink, masses of bound needles are transformed into 'human fur' and suitcases shift shape with store cabinets. Each of the designers have a different background, resulting in a meltdown of different disciplines such as graphic, fashion, food and material design.

The Dutch Invertuals are Edhv, Raw Color, Bart Hess, Pepe Heykoop, Daphna Issacs and Laurens Manders, Lead, House of Origin, Lotty Lindeman and Wendy Plomp.
