Through and Through 2.0



Through and Through 2.0 is a cushion collection based on the scoubidou knot. The collection consists out of three different types of cushions. A big floor cushion, a rectangular cushion in combination with a bench and a square cushion for on a stool or chair. The scoubidou technique is a technique that has a lot more to offer besides its common practise. By experimenting with this technique in different materials and colours, new possibilities came to light which resulted in this collection. The cushions are made by Ditte during her artist in residency at Valhof Museum Nijmegen.

The collection
Scoubidou is usually known for making bracelets and keychains. Experimenting with this knot resulted in new possibilities. Therefore, knotting with different materials, scale and colours, resulted in different objects. The cushions consist out of hand made cords that are sown together in the middle with a wide zigzag stich. These cords are then knotted into a cushion. The layers of the knot is what gives the cushion its softness and unique shape. The dessins of the fabric are designed for the cushion. Photographing, sketching and testing different colour combinations resulted into four final prints that match the pattern of the knot.

Valkhof Museum
From November 2025 until September 2026 Ditte got the opportunity to take part in the artist in residency of the Valkhof Museum in Nijmegen. In Nijmegen she got a studio space offered by the museum, which made that there was time and most of all space to develop this collection. The cushions are now in the museum café and available in the museum shop.midden met een brede zigzagsteek zijn dicht gestikt. Deze stroken worden vervolgens tot een kussen geknoopt. De lagen van de knoop zorgen voor de zachtheid van het kussen en geven het ook een unieke vorm. De dessins van de stoffen zijn ook ontworpen voor het kussen. Door verschillende foto’s, schetsen en kleurcombinaties te maken en te testen zijn er vier verschillende dessins uitgerold die het best aansluiten bij de vorm van het kussen.
