Rick Tegelaar (b.1986) is a Dutch designer who works independently from his studio and workshop in Arnhem. As a designer orientated by material his work is characterised by the use of uncommon materials, finding new beautifully shaped forms with an innovative approach. Having had a keen interest in machinery and mechanical processes since childhood he has combined this with a sense of delicate aesthetics to create a range of contemporary lighting designs which shed a new light on undervalued materials applied using existing techniques.
“I’ve always gotten a lot of satisfaction out of the processes of making something. When I was a kid I was always playing with technical Lego. Even now, I sometimes use Lego for making a scale model. I’m a designer who combines thinking and doing for developing new designs.”
Here we showcase his designs for Dutch designer brand
