This year, Tijn van Orsouw unveils a new collection of products that reimagine the destination of materials, giving them renewed purpose and meaning. By reinterpreting and placing materials in fresh contexts, he creates experiential objects that challenge traditional notions of form and function.

Project description

Each piece is a celebration of originality—born from unexpected sources such as table legs, vintage magazines, textiles, and more.
The final form of these works often emerges through an intuitive and playful process, enriching the journey of creation and reinforcing the singular character of every object. This approach highlights the power of reusing existing resources not only as a sustainable practice but as a catalyst for innovation.
Tijn’s work reminds us that sustainability and creativity are not opposing forces, but rather partners in shaping a more imaginative and responsible future.

About

Tijn van Orsouw is a designer who brings a unique perspective to his work. He explores the potential of existing functions, infusing them with new meanings and distinct shapes. His design journey is characterized by a quest for the perfect form and function. Tijn finds inspiration in natural or reused materials that have their own stories, incorporating them into his creations.
One aspect that sets Tijn apart is his emphasis on how people interact with interior spaces and navigate through them. He carefully considers the user experience, crafting designs that facilitate seamless movement and engagement. By studying human behaviour within spaces, Tijn creates environments that are not only visually captivating but also enhance functionality.
