Catie Newell & Wes McGee

Catie Newell is known for taking unexpected turns, in her career and in her work. She seeks to make the familiar unfamiliar, and the material process of fabrication is a vital act in her work. Her installations have unpredictable effects on their surroundings, intervening to highlight what is often left unseen.

Exhale, undertaken in partnership with Wes McGee creates deep physical resonance between strength, fragility, and the fleeting breath that brings them together. Catie & Wes designed the Exhale light.

Jesse Sanderson

Nowadays everything needs to be better, slicker and improved, this gets on Jesse’s nerves. His longing for simplicity derives from Calvinistic times of frugality, thrift and perseverance. Nostalgia enables him to take a step back in our ‘fast forward’ world.
By applying traditional craftsmanship and expressing his personal view, Sanderson designs intelligent yet simple hearted objects. Jesse designed the Memento chair, Kodak chair and the Burned Chunk.

Chiel Kuijl

The architectural projects of Chiel Kuijl consist of mainly rope and space constructed over land, water and in the air. The same inspiration and technique is applied on the Floating Divan. Kuijl includes swings and floating divans in his installations to involve human interaction.
'My work consists of connections in and around space. My search is about space. Space is the big nothingness that we can feel around us but that only becomes visible when something is actually taking up space.' Chiel Kuijl designed the Floating Divan.
