TOM FRENCKEN

Look at these archetypal pieces of furniture by Tom Frencken, a Dutch artist and designer who lives and works in Eindhoven. This hand-made creations look like they have been put together totally random and haphazardly: yet every angle, inch and position is deliberately chosen, so how unstable it might look, as solid and sustainable it is!
We really love this unique family of furniture that is a bit cartoonish, but always recognizable and feeling familiar!

SUPER LEKKER SUPER MOOI BY JOEL BLANCO

Let's have a look at this big donut by Joel Blanco: he turns this piece of cake into a monumental object to propose a new kind of value; not the value of eternal truths or wisdom, but rather the
