About
Trained as an industrial designer at Design Academy Eindhoven, living on his own minimalisticly rebuilt 1901 cargo ship in Groningen and riding his hand built fixed gear bike everywhere life is good, Han is the materialisation of the love for amazing design.
Han gets inspired
'I dream it, I make it', is a motto that perfectly suits Han's way of working. Industrial processes, material characteristics and random hunches keep Han being inspired to design new products on a daily basis. Whether he rides his bike in the city or roams a lake on a sailing boat, ideas for new products keep flowing into his little square sketchbooks at jet-stream speed.
Han finds the essence
A good idea is a good idea, but a good idea is not enough for Han. As an experienced industrial designer, he's capable of finding the essence of a good idea and transforming it into a clear, well detailed, contemporary product based on a strong concept.
Han is industrial
Despite the fact he doesn't design for big companies because he loves to design on the fly, Han is an industrial designer pur sang. 'Industrial design' to Han doesn't mean 'designing products to be made in distant factories in developing countries', it rather means 'designing in a process-oriented manner'. Every product he designs simultaneously is a design for a production process and therefore fully reproducible.
Han is in full control
Because he produces all his designs himself, Han can guarantee you a 100% quality product made out of first class materials. He's independent and versatile; he doesn't have a workshop of his own, but cleverly uses a vast network of places that offer him the specific workspace he needs for a project. Han's work stands for tailor-made industrial quality, from sketch to boxed product.
It's the love for design that drives Han, like it's the love for good food that drives the chef. You can stick with macaroni cheese forever, but boy, you miss out on much better stuff then!
