Water drops gather to make a river, rivers then flow into channels, connecting the Netherlands with the vast ocean. As a country with the lowest altitude in the world, the Netherlands, literally meaning the lowlands, has one third of its land area below sea level. The country is intrinsically connected with the idea of water. We fight with the water, experiencing the great threat of it. Yet it also brings us opportunity and potentials. We draw endless inspirations from it. Transforming‘competing with the water’to‘coexisting with the water’, Royal Dutch finds the delicate beauty in this balance and create a series embodying romanticism of when water meets the tableware.
