Erik (b.1996) is a designer who’s always looking for forced coincidences.
He is always captivated by the world of materials and enjoys experimenting with different shapes, techniques, and materials. He finds great joy in exploring the endless possibilities and seeing how things can change and evolve. For example, he isn’t afraid to try methods like frying PVC to make it flexible or pouring plaster into flexible fabrics and letting the weight guide its path through various objects. Erik embraces the uncertainty of the creative process and is constantly amazed by the unique outcomes that each experiment produces. It’s this excitement and thrill that keeps his passion for design alive.
