The studio has been researching materials, crafts and new techniques since their existence (2011). During the DDW they will show a new series of wooden benches and leftover wooden wall shelves. In addition, an extension of the GRID light collection and more in their NEW studio at Sectie-C.

TUBE series

The studio designs with a material and translates this into lighting, accessories or furniture. They like to combine craftsmanship with innovation. You can recognise their designs by their round, almost liquid shapes and the use of tension within the materials.

Next to their light series they designed the new TUBE series, made of pine wood and aluminium tube, in which the studio plays with texture, proportion and shape, has resulted in a chubby design for stools, benches and now for this Dutch Design Week a new extension of this series.

In every serial production of items creates a waste stream. The studio has found a new destination for this discarded but valuable material of the TUBE series. By reusing the residual pieces of wood, too short or too small, a hands-on series of wall consoles is created.
The consoles, in different sizes and proportions, are composed and produced intuitively in the studio. In the same high-quality finish as their furniture, in beautiful colours based on natural colored oil.

DDW

During the DDW, they will open and illuminate their 'new' studio space and showroom on Sectie-C. In addition to the new designs, the studio will present their current designs as well as their process.

About studio Thier & van Daalen

Iris van Daalen & Ruben Thier share their fascination for reflections, colours and the elasticity of materials. Over and over, they see it as a challenge to get hold of these matter and translate them into sustainable designs. They create designs for lighting, furniture, jewellery, accessories and unique objects, commissioned by brands and labels or on their own initiative.
