Dutch Design: The Next 10 Powerhouses

Core 77 has a article about the next 10 big Dutch designers, as selected by Venka de Rooij, managing director of Dutch by Design. The list is Wieki Somers, Yvonne Laurysen, Frederik Roije, Nicole van Schoutenburg, Marjet Wessels Boer, Chris Kabel, Kirsty Powell, Maarten Baptist, Thijs Bakker and Joost Wever. Between them they have come up with some damn interesting peices.


Marjet Wessels Boer - Door of Secrets
Door of sectets hontains hidden storage compartments that people can get too by shuffling the doors sections around.


Nicole van Schoutenburg - Self Shelf
Self Shelf is a set of shelves where the shelf itself looks like a book.. giving the appearance of books floating in air.


Chris Kabel - Sticky Lamp
"I made a book full of photographs of all the tools that were used to repair products: tape, rope, string, rubber bands, paper clips—all really great solutions. I found these very intriguing. One of these photographs pictured a lamp fitting that was taped against the wall to provide instant light. I translated this into the Sticky Lamp."


Frederik Roije - Spineless Lamp
Spineless lamps are unique lamps made of deformed porcelain. No two are the same.
