Nacho Carbonell is known for his tactile approach to
sculpture, playing with texture, experimental techniques
and natural materials. His approach is unique and sees
objects as ‘living organisms’ that come alive and surprise
you with their behaviour. Carbonell needs to create a
relationship with his work, that’s why he creates objects
with his hands: to imprint something from his own
personality. He describes his pieces as “communicative
objects that arouse one’s feelings and imagination... that
allows you to escape everyday life.” Carbonell’s designs
are made using locally-sourced materials he finds near his
studio in Eindhoven.

Esteemed as one of the most influential Dutch designers of the
beginning of the 21st century, Maarten Baas is known as an “author
designer”. His work is rebellious, playful, intellectual, theatrical
and artistic, reling on the boundaries between art and design, and
varies from conceptual designs, limited editions, production design,
installations, public space, architecture, interior design, theater
design and performances.
Atelier Van Lieshout exists in Van Lieshout’s
practice as a methodology towards undermining
the myth of the artistic genius. Over the past three
decades, Van Lieshout is worldwide recognized for a
multidisciplinary practice that produces works on
the borders between art, design, and architecture. By
analyzing the thin line between craftsmanship and
mass-producing functional objects, he seeks to find the
boundaries between fantasy and function, between
fertility and destruction. With this signature, he has
definitely gained a strong international reputation.
