Dutch designer Annemieke Broenink has a passion for developing new applications for basic materials that were originally intended for more mundane purposes—in particular, rubber. Educated as a fashion designer, Broenink worked for many years in design and sales in Amsterdam’s fashion industry. Starting in 2004, she began to design a collection of necklaces out of her own studio that are a combination of art, craft and fashion. Rubber is a great source of inspiration for Broenink, inviting her to explore new directions.
