Belén一直以物料為起點。物質—其起源、過程、顏色、紋理和物質
—都是他們的工具。這個設計雙人組希望通過與原材料保持密切聯
繫，從已知和新材料中提取引人入勝的表達方式，加深並軟化人與
環境之間的關係。
這款外套使用了一種源自中國南部苗族的傳統技術，以使他們的服
裝具有防風和防水功能。防風外套可持續生產，而使用木藍將棉質
紡織品染色亦增強了油亮質感。
Belén是一家位於阿姆斯特丹的設計工作室，由Brecht Duijf和
Lenneke Langenhuijsen創立，專注於物料研究、應用和創意指導。
Buro Belén在物料研究中深入探索我們作為人類和地球的聯繫。他
們的合作涉及女性工匠、創意人士、科學家、研究機構和行業合作
夥伴。他們共同致力於形成各種結果，例如可穿戴裝置、產品、紡
織品和其他物質化形式。通過開發紗線、織物、紋理和表面，來支
持、庇護或引發我們對所處環境的感知。所有這些都蘊含著對更可
持續和迷人的生活環境的深切渴望。因此，Buro Belén的自主研究
在他們的工作方式中起著重要作用；他們不斷尋找新的觀點，並需
要時間成熟，找到在行業中的位置。

Belén always starts in collaboration with material. Matter; the origin, the process, colour, texture and substance are all tools to work with. The design duo wishes to deepen and soften the relationship between people and the environment by staying in close proximity to the origin, and by extracting enticing expressions from known as well as new materials. The Indigo Jacket is made using an age-old hammering technique, derived from the Miao people of Southern China to make their clothing wind- and waterproof. Dying the cotton textile with indigo enhances the oily, glossy quality of this sustainably produced and modern aged windcheater jacket.
About Studio Belén
Belén is a design studio based in Amsterdam — founded by Brecht Duijf and Lenneke Langenhuijsen — centred on material research, material application and creative direction. In the material research of Buro Belén, they deepen into themes that relate to the interconnectedness we have as humanity and our planet. Their collaborations involve crafts(wo)men, creatives, scientists, institutes and industry partners. Together, they work towards results that form the beginning of various manifestations such as wearables, products, textiles and other materialisations. This is done by developing yarns, weavings, textures and surfaces that support, shelter or entice our sense of place. All encompass a profound longing for more sustainable and enchanting living environments. Buro Bélens’ self-initiated research therefore plays an integral role in their way of working; their continuous search in finding new ways of seeing which in turn need time to mature and find its place within the industry.
