Biography
Background
Rick Tegelaar is a Dutch designer born in Rotterdam in 1986. He graduated with honours from the ArtEZ Arnhem product design department in 2011 and has worked independently from his studio and workshop in Arnhem since then.
Signature Style
As a material-oriented designer, his work is characterized by very uncommon materials and by finding new, beautifully shaped forms with an innovative approach. He has been interested in machinery and mechanical processes since childhood, and this fascination with engineering, combined with a delicate sense of aesthetics, shows in designs that shed a new light on undervalued materials and existing techniques. His quote: "Where we are able to merge engineering with elegance, there will arise a pure form of aesthetics."
Notable Works
- Meshmatics chandelier (2017, Moooi), formed from wire netting
- Filigree Floor Lamp (Moooi)
