Dutch Design, driven by invention
As part of The Greatness of Dutch Design at The Gallery Rosewood Amsterdam, we celebrate the work of Dirk van der Kooij. A designer The Frozen Fountain has presented for more than fifteen years, following a practice driven by curiosity, invention and a fascination with what materials can become.
Van der Kooij moves naturally between the roles of designer, craftsman and inventor. Best known for working with reclaimed synthetics, he has developed his own machines and a low-resolution 3D-printing process to create furniture and objects. The extruded surfaces that result have become a signature of his work, where the precision of the machine meets the irregularity and character of the material.
Featuring the Tol 3 & 4 Lamps, Changing Vases, Meltingpot Ellipse 6P Table, Selenite Vases, and Chubby Chair.
On view at The Gallery, Rosewood Amsterdam, through October 22.
