Two seasoned Amsterdam-based creatives have embarked on a collaborative journey, demonstrating their meticulous skill set and distinct vision along the way. We’re talking photographer Marthe Hennink and creative director Jilt Meeder who’ve collaborated on many an occasion on advertising campaigns for a string of high-profile clients, such as Dutch luxury department store de Bijenkorf, Chanel and Saint Laurent. This month, Hennink and Meeder have officially kicked off their collaboration to reach a new demographic of private individuals through the release of limited-edition artwork—autonomous artwork that is. The duo’s first endeavour, a body of work entitled Silhouettes, is currently on display at their collective studio in the Dutch capital, and coincides with the recent inauguration of the premises. On display is a series of portraits, all exquisitely styled by stylist Im Fong Liu, a longtime colleague and friend. The portraits come in two sizes (75cm x 100cm and 45cmm x 60cm) and are printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin. And that’s not all. The works come with an official certificate of authenticity and a black wooden frame (on through Mar 17).

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
