To me it looks like they found some really nice objects, which stood the time, and then destroyed them with this -look mom I made art- covering.

by adding this surface it does nothing to increase the timelessness. in fact it adds a characteristic that only increases the likelyhood of you getting sick of the object.
Just don’t get it. this is pretty weak

I like the look of the texture, but there is a certain irony that they are supposedly trying to make ‘timeless’ objects. The whole concept of using common household objects and giving them a hand crafted twist is so completely in trend right now. In years to come these will clearly have a 2000′s Dutch design look to them. “Limited edition”, “the fingerprints of its maker”, these all epitomise what is trendy in design.
The funny thing for me is that the actual objects underneath are themselves far more ‘timeless’ the the end result!
I like the objects, the justification i’m not so sure about.
