Design Storytelling

More beautiful, clever, exploratory work from Studio Makkink & Bey with the Crate Series.

Love Jurgen and Rianne’s dedication to redefining existing objects. In this case deconstructing the common crate and reconstructing it into a variety of decorative and functional domestic ‘live/work’ designs.

The Crate Series is a strange combination of ready mades and one offs; with second hand objects, found in a Rotterdam antique shop, framed by unique crate structures.

Quoted in Icon Jurgen Bey says: “We understand crates as something to put objects in, but reassembled, they become a way of giving a larger object its surroundings, its own sense of privacy.”

Beautiful, human centred, thought provoking, and made with reused materials = good design for me.
