This innovative studio couple works mainly in lighting, textile, accessories and furniture for international design labels such as Alessi, Cor Unum, Driade, Linteloo, Fatboy, ITEM Amsterdam, Molinari, Moooi, Pode, Polspotten and Royal Tichelaar Makkum. Each of their products is characterised by careful research and passion for technology, material and color.
Studio Roderick Vos overlooks the brand’s DNA which goes far beyond just putting the collection together. They choose forms which will maintain their appeal and allure moving forward. They weigh up a number of different matters like innovation, commercial viability, identity, and above all intuition; every model is born out of the needs and opportunities that these factors present.
About us
Roderick Vos, (Groningen, The Netherlands, 1965) started his studies in Industrial Design at Design Academy Eindhoven in 1984. In 1987, working as a trainee, he moved to Japan for 6 months. Being partly Asian himself, this particular period evidently had a large impact on his personal interest in Asian Culture and its works.
Together with his partner Claire Vos, he graduated in 1990 from the Design Academy and moved to Indonesia, Surabaya to develop their knowledge of rattan furniture and textile production. In 1999 they officially started their design office ‘Studio Roderick Vos’, now based in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Several of their works were acquired by prestigious museums, such as Stedelijk Amsterdam and Museum of Arts & Design New York.
Claire Vos Teeuwen, (Tegelen, The Netherlands, 1965) was predestined to become a textile designer. As she says, ‘The love of textiles is in my blood. Production of textiles and ceramics has been in my family for generations.’ She specializes in re-interpreting traditional techniques, colourings and forms, paying close attention to the quality of the materials she uses. Her source of inspiration may be an Indonesian ikat weave or a Dutch woolen blanket, but the end result will be completely contemporary, almost graphical or industrial.
Claire studied her craft in Italy, Switzerland, and Indonesia before settling in the Netherlands. In her latest work, the printed carpet collection Liquid Layers for Moooi, she created a new digital design technique where the possibilities are infinite, resulting in a unique new approach towards pattern design.
