Diskus Plate
Diskus is a series of porcelain plates that feature phrases about various subjects in calligraphy. Your dinner conversations won’t just be about work, politics, or the children, but also about cooperation, food, chance, and happiness. Available with four Dutch and two English texts. The name Diskus originates from the Greek word for plate or disc and from discussion or discourse. Diskus was born from a collaboration between calligraphic designer Nicole van Schouwenburg and Royal Delft.
Diskus on Cooperation - text in Dutch
Zing vecht huil bid lach werk en bewonder. Bekend Adagium. Werk en bewonder. Nee, niet drink zucht pruil zit klaag kijk en lik wonden, of stink vecht kruip lieg blaf sterf en bedonder. Werk en bewonder iedere dag iemand, geef een compliment, dat is het cement van samenwerken.
Idea
Nicole on how it all started: "I like to create calligraphic artworks. Preferably with a brush and blue ink. With panache and curls. In 2005, I stumbled on an idea: I’m going to paint a plate with a phrase that is written from the outside to the inside, making it decorative. At a certain point, I thought: it’s almost similar to Delftware! With a concept plate, I visited the Porceleyne Fles in Delft. The people here were immediately impressed and thought my plate would make a good product. We started to create the first series. We performed tests in a laboratory to determine the best blue color and the ideal type of plate. A fun and interesting process”.
