(Archive) Light makes you see colour

Design with light

By working hands-on with a material in combination with light, they discover where and how to add light, so it can offers added value to complement each other. Light casts shadows and reflections, the exciting moment to steer and direct this to perfection, aesthetically and sustainably.

The studio designed and developed the shape of the light and the light element itself and are produced in the Netherlands.


Over the year, the studio delivered various light projects and collaborated with glassblower Gert Bullee in the National Glass Museum of Leerdam. They researched the right shape, colour and finish. In addition, the studio has developed a LED spotlight, on which both the glass shape hangs and also direct the light through the formed glass. This creating special light projections which resemble cloudy skies, rippling water or morning dew creating a soothing, almost hypnotic effect. Where craftmanship and innovation merge

Yume Yume x Studio Thier & van Daalen

Next to our fascination for light, the studio shows a project with a Dutch shoe brand Yume Yume. A perfect match in design language, colour and material.
A special and limited edition has been developed of the well-known recycled wall shelf from the series 'the plastic mine'.  Yume Yume colour matched their collection of limited slippers.
These unique plastic shelves are basically made from residual plastic or production waste from a Dutch factory where industrial semi-finished products are produced. The lumps cannot be reprocessed by the producer/factory, but for the studio it is a challenge to transform it and show the beauty of waste.

A great project to work on, loved the collaboration!
During Dutch Design Week a selection of shelves and slippers will be shown.

The studio invites the visitor to immerse themselves in a world of light, color and innovation!
