Bas Vellekoop
Bas graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague in 2010, and set up his eponymous studio the same year. With an ever-growing number of designs in production, Bas’ working is gaining in reputation for its refreshing honesty. By emphasising rather than concealing their construction, his pieces offer a purity of purpose without sacrificing character.
For me, the construction determines the design. Manufacturing locally isn’t just more sustainable - it’s more flexible.
“Ever since I was young, I wanted to make the spaces around me more pleasant. I’d always be looking at stuff, thinking – how can I do that better?”
