Inspirations | Tord Boontje

Tord Boontje is one of the most recognisable brands when it comes to Interior Design. The Netherlands born designer began his design journey in 1991 studying at the Royal Collage of Art in London & has gone from strength to strength producing iconic collections such as Wednesday & Magnetic Fields. Boontje creates a variety of designs but is mostly recognised for his intricately designed laser cut lighting that displays the most fantastic shadows when switched on or dimmed.

Wednesday |
A collection based upon ordinary items embellished with extraordinary designs. Boontje features foxes, crows and rabbits upon items from this collection, this is mostly recognised through his wall hangings & lighting.

Magnetic Fields |
One of Boontje's latest collections is based highly on magnets & magnetic movements. This effect creates a futuristic, sci-fi atmosphere which is equally mirrored in the minimalist angled seating designs.

Shipwrecked |
The shipwrecked collection includes textiles, jewellery & lighting, all of which have been produced using natural materials. The natural materials & colour schemes have been used to create very organic shaped furniture, again conveying that 'shipwrecked' feeling.

Rough And Ready |
As the title suggests, this collection is a very urban & rural gathering of goods which reflect a salvaged atmosphere. Although this collection displays a level of incompleteness, it really makes a huge impact & would look great in an industrial setting.

Target |
A Christmas collection created in 2006. Boontje created 35 pieces for Target all of which displayed his highly recognisable style. He also designed the Point Of Sale displays which set the items off perfectly.
