This Thursday, we celebrated the opening of CTRL Matter during London Craft Week with a private view and conversation featuring Willem Zwiers, hosted in collaboration with @chiselarc and the Dutch Embassy @nlinuk with special guest Dutch Ambassador Paul Huijts. As part of the exhibition, we took the opportunity to highlight a number of Dutch designers we have long represented and admired, recognising the Netherlands’ distinctive contribution to contemporary craft, material innovation, and technology-led design. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening evening. #CTRLMatter #LondonCraftWeek #DutchDesign #WillemZwiers #ContemporaryCraft

POLSPOTTEN and RIJKSMUSEUM. Great opening to celebrate the new collection and the start of the exhibition: At home in the 17th century. Beautiful story about the making of the special tableware byShiran Gort and Femke Dierckx. Including the cardboard world of Steef de Jong. Magic to walk around with such a small group of people after official opening hours of the Rijksmuseum. @shirangort @femkediercks @polspotten @rijksmuseum

2025 Life observations 2/3: 1. The right doors won’t open for you until you are the right version of yourself to walk through them 2. The work is beautiful because it’s diverse @lauragrnbrg 3. Backpacks on backs should be illegal on the train 👀 4. Don’t be afraid to start over, you might like your new story better. Sometimes you have to fully break, to know how to rebuild yourself again. 5. Give without remembering and receive without forgetting @biggsburke 6. Close the window that hurts you no matter how beautiful the view is 7. Remember the difference between envy and jealousy. Envy is the ‘want’ for something you don’t have. Jealousy is the fear of losing something you already have 8. Dance between the material and the process 9. The cardboard cutter on baking paper rolls should be fined for being bad at their job 10.

Meatgrinded chair by Willem Zwiers The Meatgrinded Chair was part of 'Willem's Ceramics Atelier' graduation project. This chair is created out of ceramic hollow tubes, made by a modified old meatgrinder. The clay type is stoneware which makes it possible to fire on high temperatures. This makes the chair strong and functional. For enquiries, send us a DM.

#drivingdutchdesign takeover by @wisse_design . Carving talent. Shaping connections. Elevating design. Over the years I’ve worked on my own designs, curated exhibitions, and shared the work of others through Instagram and publications. Step by step I built experience across these different parts of the design field and steadily grew my network along the way. To take this further and make a greater impact, I teamed up with Zahra Khan to launch @chiselarc last January. Based in the Netherlands and the UK, Chisel Arc is a creative agency that fosters a dynamic creative collective where talent and innovation thrive. By combining our networks and expertise, we are able to make an impact in promoting and selling design. We connect design talent with global opportunities, working closely with brands, architects, interior designers, collectors, and cultural institutions. We got to know each other over time at events like Dutch Design Week and Milan Design Week, and quickly discovered how complementary our backgrounds and networks are. Since launching, we have organised photoshoots for @willem.zwiers and @teun.zwets with photography duo @benning.gladkova , resulting in tailored images that truly highlight their work. Later in the year, during @3daysofdesign in Copenhagen, we hosted a meetup and drink with @polspotten at @illumcph . More to come soon, including new design studios joining our portfolio, amongst which are @arnohoogland , @dirk.duif and @onnoadriaanse . #clubddd #dutchdesign #dutchdesigner #bno #cultuurfonds #creative #designyourbusiness #designer #designinspiration #designstudio #wissetrooster #zahrakhan #chiselarc #teunzwets #willemzwiers #benninggladkova

#drivingdutchdesign takeover by @wisse_design . Hi! I’m Wisse Trooster and this week I’m taking over the Driving Dutch Design Instagram. I’m a designer, curator, and I represent design studios through Chisel Arc, a creative agency I co-founded with Zahra Khan. My work focuses on sustainable and collectible design, and telling stories through exhibitions and products. In 2022, my Re-Editions wall lamp collection was honoured with an Interior Design Best of Year Award. What started in 2016 as an Instagram account (@wisse_design ) to share Dutch Design has gradually grown into a career. I scout emerging talent and curate shows such as Design Rides during Dutch Design Week, and have collaborated with Isola on exhibitions in Milan, Eindhoven, and London. In 2020, I was invited to be part of the jury for the NYCxDesign Awards. Back in 2018 I joined Driving Dutch Design as a Driver to strengthen my storytelling and business skills. Since then, I’ve returned as a master, helping participants with online presentation and press. This week I’ll be sharing more about my curating work, the products I’ve designed, my work with Chisel Arc, and my ongoing projects with Teun Zwets, including presenting his Splitted collection at Ambiente and Maison & Objet. Thanks for following along! #clubddd #dutchdesign #dutchdesigner #bno #cultuurfonds #creative #designyourbusiness #designer #designinspiration #designstudio #wissetrooster
