about
Working in between the fields of product design and art, Rein patiently plays and crafts - presenting unusual, colorful objects that get featured in design shows. One-offβs might end up in homes of design collectors or they open doors to a comissioned work. A dazzling quilt made of shirts, Baskets of packaging straps, a hand woven QR-code, a flying raincoat - to name a few.
This particular way of working made Rein an early and proud member of the @_basketclub_
From ready-mades up to products on commission, his work is described playfull, easy to understand and to often set up a smile.
So from time to time Rein spreads his love for crafting by giving workshops at art academies and design institutions.
