In Conversation With

Last week we had the privilege to visit Dirk Vander Kooij s studio with Young Stedelijk as part of the new series: “In Conversation With”. In this concept a YS ambassador interviews a living designer or artist whose work is part of the Stedelijk collection. I had the honour to kick off and chose to interview Dirk, whom I have admired for his beautiful furniture all made of recycled plastics (refrigerators, cds etc). So circular design that is highly desirable. Thank you Dirk and Phillipa for showing us the heart of Dirk Vander Kooij, where the magic happens and for sharing your thoughts with us! Wow, how I love being surrounded by creatives and the meeting of minds. Thank you @ysamsterdam and Ace & Tate for making this happen.
