About

Words by Bernardine Walrecht - Arian Brekveld graduated from the Eindhoven Design Academy in 1995. His objects can without exception be called stylish, without resorting to lavish design. The clear, crisp lines create an almost sober design with a timeless value, which is in part defined by the thorough research and a tasteful and intelligent use of color and material. Brekveld doesn’t stick to a fixed design process, but allows spontaneity to inspire his work: “Every product requires a different approach. Finding the right path is a design process in itself”. He allows himself the flexibility to switch between the various phases that are best at any given stage of the design process: “I am alternating quickly between scale models, computer animations, and mock-ups. The trick is to know when to progress to the next phase, and if necessary switch back again. It keeps the design process moving”.
