Maarten (1976) graduated the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2002 at the department Man & Living.
Maarten develops icons for day-to-day activities, each with an elegant sense of presence. Often a tiny detail will be off-key, making his pieces charmingly different. 'I try to keep a sense of wonder alive about the things around me and I translate that wonder into my products.' Fresh yet organic shapes pervade his work, bringing each piece a feel of timelessness.
