Henk Leppink

There are several designers who prove the assumption that the traditional boarders between the different fields of design like products and fashion have started to disappear.
Buttons in the designs of Henk Leppink are transformed to jewels as well as to the starting points of fashion creations. His found and collected buttons could as well be regarded as the origins of some ready made or recycling idea, should they be buttons fallen from tunics, sweaters or from the clothes of grandma’.
As he says: Every button tells its story.

Studio Wessels Boer

Marjet Wessels Boer started Studio Wessels Boer in 2001. Since then she works on very different projects. Sometimes alone, but often collaborating with specialized designers and /or producers to create her specific design. This design is not only useful; it’s an object to love and which is open for personal interpretation. “A design has to leave space for people to make it theirs, without being anonymous; in fact it has to challenge people to interact.”
Notions such as ‘identity’, ‘meaning’ and ‘perception’ of objects and brands fascinate Marjet. She explores the peculiarities of products and the associations we have with these: what meaning does the object have? Where does it find its origin? Which story does it tell? This research leads to valuable inspiration for new designs.

Wheels-on-Fire

Holland is a small and flat country, so cycling is an easy, popular solution for travelling short distances. Wheels-on-Fire, a Rotterdam-based industrial designer, collects old bicycles and turns them into stylish and good-looking products.
After finishing his Masters Industrial Design at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, Jan Willem van Breugel worked at an office for Landscape and Cityplanning in the field of public design (street furniture, lighting, etc.). He travelled through Asia on a bicycle when the idea for ‘Wheels-on-Fire’ was born. Back home in 2002 he designed his first Wheels-on-Fire product: a chandelier based on a recycled bicycle wheel.

Cindy Jeurissen

Due to her delicate and fine leather bags, purses and small accessories Cindy is well-known and respected in The Netherlands which is spectacularly proved by her publications.

She often cooperates with Ilse Roelofs jewel designer with whom she opened a shop in the centre of Amsterdam.

Corina Rietveld

Corina is a designer of uncommon ideas, surprising associations and humour related to the shaping of the jewels. She does not hesitate to combine textile with metal and to use the various forms and possibilities of plastic.  She is well remembered for her ring which makes the impression of a tree trunk or a brunch on the inner side of which she applied a golden inlay.

Jet Mous

For those who regard silicate, china, glass and ceramics design as a discipline unable to renew, out-of-date and irretrievably lost in the tradition of the handcraft of the past few centuries, we can tell they are absolutely wrong. Especially if they become familiar with the works of Jet Mous which provide us with the unusual world of colours and forms as well as the critical approach towards the industry of spurt plastic.

Mecky Van den Brink

You would get into a tight corner if you tried to define the artistic form of the works of Mecky van den Brink. They have a very odd and unusual atmosphere of pearl-jewels, collages, porcelains and textiles whose boarders are broadened with visual elements deriving from the memories of childhood.
