Ontwerpduo

Ontwerpduo are designers Nathan Wierink and Tineke Beunders - both graduated cum laude from the Design Academy in 2008 - just couldn't wait to get their imaginative paws immersed into the design marketplace. While studying, this duo nurtured the fledgling design studio. The pair make-up a formidable force, and business acumen aside, they admit they just couldn't delay the fun any longer. Tineke's wistful approach blends perfectly with Nathan's mathematical line of attack, forging a mind challenging ambience that uses simplicity as the key. Four years of fairytale-like designs later and the fact that they produce most of their installations from the ground up, including the tricky build process, will ensure that this innovative pair will continue to compete at a high level on a very spirited design forum.
'A dreamer and a mathematician' , this young Dutch design duo complement each other well. The wild fantasy is created, and is then surreptitiously grounded by the mathlete; It's a philosophy that seems to keep things from going a bit over eccentric, and tends to generate an alluring, yet graspable charm.
