Weed Boosters
"Unwanted weeds" are unwanted only because humans consider them as such. This is most evident when taking a peek into a garden centre: full of tools only to get rid of weeds.
Weed Boosters is a tool collection satirically looking into existing weed-unfriendly garden centers while at the same time presenting the first tool collection that deconstructs old weed-removing tools into weed-improving tools.
The Moss Killer Killer
The most innovative tool to get rid of annoying moss killer liquids.
Lets your moss grow back block by block.
The Seed Spread Blaster
Spread seeds for more weeds like stardust in the air!
The Tile Vanisher
Remove those ugly grey squares in a jiffy,
and let your weeds expand block by block.

Femke Hoppenbrouwer (1998) is a Dutch social designer and artist who addresses large societal topics by zooming in on small recognisable details from everyday life. She engages with complex public issues, such as ageism, inclusivity and social stigma’s, by transforming them into playful works using joy, humor and celebration. Her practice seeks to build bridges between the worlds of art and design and social fields in order to make each more approachable to wider audiences.
Combining field-based research, community collaboration and artistic experimentation, Femke creates mixed-media works, primarily using film and performance, that aim to subvert stereotypes and introduce alternative narratives that put a smile on your face while making you critically aware about the world around us.
Alongside her art & design practice, Femke is active as a creative for the Dutch human rights organisation Humanistisch Verbond, as well as part of Touchy Studios and tutoring at Design Academy Eindhoven.
Based in the Netherlands. Working between
Utrecht, Eindhoven, Amsterdam, The Hague.
