Krill-o.r.c.a. designed a pink and grey learning workshop for Zadkine fashion students as part of the innovation of a learning environment. Zadkine is a large vocational school dedicated to developing craftsmanship among students in Rotterdam. Designing the interior, Krill developed the furniture in a way that would enable the engagement of local craftsmen. The designers engaged both in the physical, as the educational aspects of the learning environment. in collaboration with the school. Students will carry out commercial assignments, coached by tutors and supported by a platform for sustainable fashion production. Neither the traditional class room, nor the common workshop space would suffice for this scheme. Embedded in De Wasserij, a hub for sustainable fashion, the space offers room for product manufacturing, break-out sessions for brain storms and support, as well as for public lectures. The students can retreat, while still being part of the whole, meanwhile facing covid-19 related demands of social distancing. Krill designed a flexible subdivision with five collective, five personal work stations and modular break-out benches. Organized in colorful zones painted graphically on the floor and wall, the space offers opportunity to experiment with a place based work space ethics and gives guidelines for spatial reorganization. The workspace is easy on the eye and offers a tranquil environment. The felt used for the curtains offers acoustic qualities, while fabrics with different tactile characteristics and exaggerated stitchings make a statement of fashion craftsmanship.
