Bolders or bollards are the typical vertical posts you see on a quay for mooring. Jef Van Campen found in this typical form a new challenge and maritime inspiration for his talent. Jef had replica's made in fiberglass/plastic in the same size as the original (height 61cm, width at the bottom 35cm and width at the top 56cm). He then painted them in his workshop on his own well known artistic fashion.
The replica's were made from bolder (bollard) number 187 at the quay of the old part of the Port of Antwerp, hence the name "Project 187".
