Dutch designer Tord Boontje completed his Masters at London’s Royal
College of Art after studying at Design Academy
Eindhoven. He founded Studio Tord Boontje in
1996, relocating to France in 2005.
In 2009 he was
appointed professor and head of Design Products
at the RCA. He currently works from his London
studio.
Collaborating with Colombian, Guatemalan,
Brazilian and Senegalese artisans, for brands like
Artecnica and Moroso, his work demonstrates
that modernism doesn’t mean minimalism,
that contemporary doesn’t forsake tradition and
that technology doesn’t abandon people and senses.
