Instead of focusing on the well known and the well established Dutch Designers, I thought it would be more interesting to delve into the new emerging stars of the Dutch Design scene. Frederik Roije definitely can be filed under that prestigious and exciting category. His edgy designs have a sense of mystic modernism to them which most certainly fall under the design style of contemporary cubism. This stylised approach is displayed in the image above. A de-constructivist's approach to a timeless children's toy. It looks unnerving, uncomfortable and uncharacteristic of what we usually define as a child's toy. This over complicated cubist style is counterbalanced with other projects that are elegant, graceful and pay homage to materiality and craftsmanship. There is still no loss in quirky characteristics to these more timid pieces and they actually compliment the cubist pieces eloquently. Frederik is one of the many new and emerging talents coming from the Netherlands. Keep posted to further blog posts for more new Dutch Designers.
