MARCEL WANDERS
The creative force behind some of the most inventive furniture and interiors of the past 30 years, the Amsterdam-based Marcel Wanders continues to take his work in new directions.
Wanders, who launched his design career in 1994 as cofounder, with Renny Ramakers and Gijs Bakker, of Droog, has since built an international brand of his own, Marcel Wanders, embodying his sense that design should be playful, romantic, verging on surreal and — when there’s a choice between the two — over- rather than understated. Moooi, a furniture brand he cofounded with Revised’s Casper Vissers, was established in 2001.
Wanders's style might best be defined as contemporary Rococo. Individual pieces that have reached design icon status include his Knotted chair (1995–96), an international breakthrough for Wanders that he made of aramid-fiber cord for Cappellini; his Skygarden pendant lamp for FLOS (2007); his monumental Calvin floor lamp (also 2007). Then there’s the Happy Hour chandelier (2005), created by Wanders with choreographer Nanine Linning, which is part a design object, part a performance in which a “dancing angel” hangs from the center of the fixture, serving little spoons of chocolate mousse and champagne flutes to the people below.
Wanders’s studio collaborations include creating bespoke hides with leather artisans from Bill Amberg Studio and designing crystal game boards for Maison Baccarat, in addition to the handcrafted Nightbloom lamps for Lladró. Wanders is also known for designing what might be called experiential spaces — interiors imbued with his design ethos, as in the eclectic and theatrical Mondrian South Beach hotel, in Miami (2008), and the Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht hotel (2012).

- Joris Laarman, "Maker Chair (Voronoi)", 2014By Joris LaarmanLocated in New York, NYJoris Laarman [Dutch, b. 1979] Maker Chair (Voronoi), 2014 Walnut 30.75 x 23.75 x 25.5 inches 78 x 60 x 65 cm Edition of 16 Dutch designer, Joris Laarman, is internationally renowned for his utilization, and often innovation, of cutting-edge technology to create poetic, emotionally charged work that challenges the boundaries of design and science. Enlisting digital tools and parametric processes to create fluid forms inspired by nature, Laarman’s highly conceptual, groundbreaking work has redrawn the parameters of contemporary design. All that Laarman creates is imbued with his firm belief in the symbiosis between handcraft and technology, resolute in the Maker Chair. Composed of digitally fabricated 3-D parts that perfectly tesselate, the individual elements of the work are constructed by hand, like a puzzle, into a sweeping curve reminiscent of Verner Panton’s 1960’s injection-moulded chair...Category
