Fundamental Collection

The Conjuncion Armchair is part of my 'Fundamental Collection', which is, as it says, my core collection. The foundation of my studio. The individual pieces represent my core values and show my approach as a designer. The core values and therefore the work could be seen as fundamental particles from which my world is build.

The ambiguous thing is that, in particle physics, the fundamental particle is seen as a subatomic particle that is not composed of other particles. My own fundament however is clearly composed of all the influences I've been exposed to in my life. The different collaborations, personal experiences, studies, but also influences from predecessors within the field of design and beyond. Influences which give an extra dimension to my work, and partly define the context of the world I work in and work for.
