June 2014 – June 2015
Advertising Board – De Stoerderij
– ordered by De Stoerderij – the water buffalo ranch in Son en Breugel, The Netherlands, designed to match the stalwart feel of this ranch
– handmade – no laser involved 🙂

– my goal was to design something both beautiful/stalwart (the Dutch “Stoer“), durable and easy to use, so I made it out of actual water buffalo horns, stainless steel, rope, and carved, burned and treated oak and fir wood – the pillars are creosoted and the planks are treated against woodworm, oiled, stained and perforated for drainage
– fully demountable, with multiple and interchangeable product options – whenever a new product becomes available it can be displayed or turned on the other side
– double sided –  in order to easily be seen from both parts of the driveway

This is a photo I made during performing the burning effect on one of the planks – a brief moment showing the central motive of the advertising board, the horns. 🙂
