Light as a way to read space
During Dutch Design Week 2026, we open our studio as an environment where existing work, new designs and collaborations come together. This year, we present the new Cloud pendant, the Bloom Chandelier in collaboration with The Frozen Fountain, and a new hardwired version of the Bloom wall light.
The exhibition shows how a design can grow: through a new scale or application, through different production possibilities or through collaboration. At the same time, we present designs that have been part of our collection for years and remain relevant.
The studio becomes a place not only to view the objects, but also to experience how light, material and form relate to the space.
New designs & collaborations
For The Frozen Fountain, we developed a new chandelier based on the Bloom wall light. The mouth-blown glass rondels are layered onto a newly developed brass structure, creating distinctive three-dimensional depth through colour and glass. During DDW, the design will be presented as a preview in our studio, ahead of its gallery launch in December 2026.
Cloud was developed from the desire to introduce a tactile, rounded form into often strict, linear architecture. The soft curves and sandblasted glass bring a human scale and can add a sense of comfort and curiosity. The form is blown in a wooden mould, making Cloud repeatable and suitable for small-batch production. The CNC-turned aluminium lampholder and replaceable LED module make the design suitable for local production in Europe and later scaling for projects.
In both designs, we look for an interplay with the space, in which light, colour, material and reflection reinforce one another. We aim to produce as locally as possible, keeping knowledge and craftsmanship close and limiting the distance between design and production.
Growing collection & developments
Alongside the new designs, we present work that has been part of our collection for many years and continues to develop over time. Bloom has a stronger relationship with the wall in its new hardwired version: the power supply is integrated into the housing, removing the visible wire and allowing the design to fully come into its own as a light object.
Vapour is now ten years old. Its LED projection in the stem and fine light distribution were innovative when it was introduced and remain relevant today. Its modular construction allows the lamp to be used horizontally, vertically or in different configurations. Grid and Bulla show how the making process becomes part of the design: from the imprint of the steel mould in Grid’s mouth-blown glass to Bulla’s almost untouched glass bubble, in which the flexible LED element follows the contour of the glass.
Plastic Mine, our series of shelves made from recycled plastic, is also still on view. After ten years, the series is coming to an end because the Dutch plastics processor we worked with has moved production abroad. One part of the collection ends, while other work continues to develop.
