    The linen dove object was designed by Dutch female designer Christien Meindertsma in 2014, as a permanent exhibit for the Texture Flax Museum in Kortrijk, Belgium.
    In fact, 200 doves are displayed as an installation throughout the entire museum building. This work was inspired by the painful memory of the museum building being occupied by the German army during World War I and used as a facility to house carrier pigeons for espionage. These doves are handmade using 100% Belgian FLAX fabric, and flax seeds are used as the filling, giving them a comfortable weight and texture. A separate memo paper is also included.

    Christien Meindertsma

    Born in Utrecht, Netherlands in 1980. Graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2003. Based in the Netherlands, she explores the relationship between raw materials and their products, and has international clients with a design approach that meticulously researches a single product and its origins. Her research records themselves become part of her work, such as in "Checked Baggage," a book classifying 3267 items collected from seized shipping containers, and "PIG 05049," which lists nearly 200 products made from a single pig named 05049. Through these works, she visualizes the relationship between raw materials, producers, and products, and aims to restore an understanding of the manufacturing process of industrial products that has become obscured. Her works have been exhibited at MoMA, the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. She has received awards such as the Dutch Design Award (2008) and the INDEX Award (2009).
