Designer Profile #1 :Marcel Wanders
Dutch genius, Marcel Wanders. Co-founder and art director for Moooi, a maker of modern and contemporary furniture, home goods and assorted knick-knacks, many of Wanders' pieces are on display at the prestigious Museum of Modern Art in NYC as well as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Lending his creative talents to modern retailers like Kartell, Droog, Vitra and Magis, Wanders' designs have garnered many awards over the years.
My favourite expression of Wanders is when is mixing macro scaling with deeper references to delft and ornamental dutch history blazed across fantastic form and ingenious mixes of material and function.
