Toys for contemplation by Ingrid Hulskamp

With toys for contemplation, Ingrid Hulskamp created a set of toys for adults, luxury items that function as decoration and a playful object that reminds us of our childhood!

27-year-old Dutch designer Ingrid Hulskamp describes herself as a design poet. “My aim is to enchant people with the use of poetic, playful and sophisticated design.

Here are her words to describe her Toys for contemplation :”To pursue time for daily contemplation in an intuitive way, I have developed a series of contemplative toys for adults. The luxurious objects, made from hand-blown glass, remind us of the candid fun we had as a child, when we were able to fully get caught up in the moment.

In order for the toys to catch our attention and create a poetic moment in time, I have created three different sensory experiences: a tactile experience using hand-blown glass, wood, brass plated gold and textiles; a visual experience using colored pigments that transform when you start playing with the object; a sonic experience through the movement of water and glass balls.
