Bart van Hoof, Designer based in Rotterdam

My insatiable thirst for knowledge fuels my passion as a designer and artist. I obsessively explore various techniques, materials, and processes, ranging from advanced EDC machining to ancient blade smithing. Understanding the inner workings and creation of objects has become one of my greatest passions.

As a designer, I push materials and processes to their limits, unveiling the hidden stories within each product's creation. This creative journey is my way of showcasing my obsession, striving to craft objects that not only capture attention but also evoke emotions.

My work is a tangible manifestation of the diverse ideas and experiences I've encountered, drawing from my background as an expat in Bangladesh and China. These international influences blend seamlessly into my creative process.

Ultimately, my goal is to craft designs that engage the senses, challenging and inspiring viewers to perceive the world in a completely new light.
