Sietske Klooster
In January 2003 Sietske Klooster graduated at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering of the
Delft University. Since her graduation project she developed a brand new approach to industrial
design, Called designmovement, introducing a cross breeding of her contemporary dance
improvisation experience and her profession as a product designer.
This approach of creating an "interaction choreography" is her distinctive mark. In performing arts she initiated many multidisciplinary dance projects: Dattah Dans was founded as a company of
the Rotterdam Dance Academie dancers and industrial designers, who create interactive
performances. She works in another experimental project concerning the interaction of painting
movements and dance. Sietske Klooster runs her own designmovement studio. She collaborates
with many creatives and researchers in multidisciplinary design projects introducing this special
approach she has in design. These projects vary from organising workshops, product design,
design consultancy to publishing scientific papers.
She teaches her approach to design at the Faculty of Industrial Design, Eindhoven and through
many other guest lectureships.
Ambra and Sietske met at the Faculty of Industrial Design in Eindhoven, while assisting an
educational project.
Based on a mutual interest in each other's work, they aimed at an international interaction, which started in collaborating for designing proposals for the ONO collection.
