Dutch Design that combines functionality with art!

Robert van Embricqs is fascinated by the aesthetically pleasing, yet intricate complexity of the natural form. Finding inspiration for his designs in bone structure, plant life and movement, one question remained ever present: ‘to what degree is the object you're creating capable of dictating its own design?’

This led him to develop a minimalistic design approach that can best be described as collaboration between designer and his material. An important aspect of his design process is Van Embricqs’ conscious focus on marrying functionality with an aesthetically pleasing look. A conscious choice for functionality in design doesn’t necessarily mean one has to be burdened by conformity, let alone predictability. Aside continuing his furniture line, Robert van Embricqs establishes flexible concepts on bigger scale in which movement creates interaction between the users and the architecture. He focused his attention on finding new ways to adapt the techniques he developed for outdoor and interior solutions.

When a client invests in the Flow Wall Desk, it often sparks the desire to carry that unique design language throughout the entire space. For this specific project, I had the pleasure of crafting the custom-made Rising Seat, perfectly tailored to match the organic lines and timber of the wall desk.
The result is a harmonious dialogue between two transformable elements: the wall desk unfolding from a flat plane, and its matching seat, sharing the same flexible geometry and meticulous craftsmanship.
It’s always inspiring to see how a bespoke client request evolves into a unique addition to the collection.

Do these transformable designs complement each other?

A day to remember:
My artwork was presented by the King and Queen of the Netherlands to Suriname during the celebration of 50 years of independence.
The design reflects innovation and transformation with a focus on natural materials.
Born in Suriname, known for its beautiful wooden architecture and design, I drew my earliest inspiration from my roots and further developed my style during my studies in the Netherlands, giving my work natural Dutch influences.
