FALL/WINTER 2024 - SHOWCASED AT DE NOLLEN
Art and architecture are at the core of ARMA’s identity, blending timeless classics with enduring appeal. Our latest campaign is set at ‘De Nollen,’ where artist R.W. van de Wint’s exploration of light, colour, and space culminates in a unique integration of nature, art and architecture. This location, with its outdoor statues and coastal setting, mirrors the essence of our collections.
Our pieces frequently showcase a refined sense of precision and balance inspired by geometric shapes and forms. This artistic touch blends smoothly with our carefully chosen fabrics, resulting in garments that perfectly balance structure and practicality, creating timeless classics for life.
Sculpture 01 | De Krul
Featured in this setting is the sculpture titled Krul.
The circular movements of this long steel strip resemble a spiral or coil due to its loops. At the Nollen, the delicate and flexible nature of this sculpture is emphasized as the points sway with the wind.
Sculpture 02 | Sculptuurgroep
A copper wire is wrapped around three steel cage-like structures. The vertical copper sculptures create a striking contrast against the horizontal expanse of the dune landscape.
Sculpture 03 | Schijven
The two segments of this sculpture are rooted in an elliptical shape, revealing a new form from every angle. The steel has developed a rich reddish-brown patina, harmonizing beautifully with both the hues of the featured items.
Sculpture 04 | Vouwbeeld
Two steel plates, delicately balanced against each other, create a harmonious tension. The oval-shaped plates feature horizontal 'folds', crafted through a unique technique of pressing and shaping, adding texture and depth to the design.
Sculpture 05 | Harmonica
This 13-meter-long and over 4-meter-high sculpture is completely enclosed. As the sculpture is moved by human touch it keeps rotating with the wind, the viewer’s perspective constantly shifts. The folds in the massive structure reveal a pattern resembling an accordion.
