City Portrait by Jeroen van Oirschot
City Grid
Jeroen van Oirschot, who just graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven, is a keen observer of urban life and all the small details which make every city unique. For his graduation project he made a collage of 700 photos of architectural details of the city of Eindhoven and turned it into a woven carpet. The result is a unique momento of the city which is abstract and intimate at the same time.

Geometric Inspirations by John Eric Byers
American artist-designer John Eric Byers cites, amongst others, Donald Judd and Richard Serra as sources of his inspiration. The influence of these American masters of minimalism are clear to see from the furniture he has created.
