Founder Roel Elsinga
Since graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2001, Roel Elsinga has had the pleasure of working on a multitude of projects & pieces in 2D and 3D.
''Creating is real joy for me. Playing around with form, color, rhythm, concept ... until everything suddenly falls into place. The process of creation is magical.''
When working on interior design projects, Elsinga often teams up with a capable fellow designer, an approach that has led to many fruitful collaborations & projects. Working together can be a great inspiration.
