Rick Tegelaar
Rick Tegelaar (Rotterdam, 1986) graduated from with honors from the Artez Arnhem product design department in 2011. Since then he has been working independently from his studio and workshop in Arnhem.
As a materials-oriented designer, Rick's work is characterized by the use of very unusual materials, finding beautifully shaped new forms with an innovative approach.
Rick is interested in machinery and mechanical processes since childhood. This fascination with engineering, combined with his delicate sense of aesthetics, are reflected in his designs, which shed new light on undervalued materials and existing techniques.
