The Dutch at the London Design Festival 2014


Studio Thier&VanDaalen at Mint Shop

From 13 to 21 September, the London Design Festival will be taking place. This design event has rapidly gained international importance over the last few years. For the fourth year in a row, Connecting the Dots has collected all presentations of Dutch designers and brands. Below, you will find the long list of Dutch presentations at the LDF 2014.
 
In addition to the three main exhibition hubs – Tent/Super Brands, designjunction and 100% Design – there is an increasing number of small galleries showing up-and-coming and curated designers. As usual, these galleries show a very high standard and a challenging selection of designs. Many of these smaller showrooms present work of designers from the Netherlands. Will you be visiting London between 13 and 21 September? We recommend you also try to find these smaller galleries. They’re definitely worth it!

Melting Pot - Making mistakes is human. Dirk vander Kooij slips up now and then as well. It just takes once adding too little raw material while producing an Endless chair to end up with a wastrel. A lot of waste is also left over after testing periods for new products. We realized that this was a unique material. We kept and sorted all of this waste; such big chunks clean and recycled plastic each with its own history, identity and color pattern, it is hard to find anywhere. With that in mind, we designed the Melting Pot. Like a true chef de cuisine, we melt big chunks of chair or table into a very stylish side and diner table. The shape of the Melting Pot Table is elementary, sturdy and practical. The table is made of a massive cone that perfectly fits the likewise massive round table top. Quite beautiful patterns of color emerge during the production process; no two specimens are the same.
