Sander Mulder started studying design in 1996, sparked by the creativity and ingenuity he displayed as a child. It soon hit home; this would become his life long passion. His successful graduation from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2002, resulted in the start-up of his own design studio. Always seeking new challenges and inspirations he has since then steadily been working on a diverse portfolio containing lighting, furniture and interior designs for international clients and his own collection. His work is proof of the firm believe that good concepts can only exist in symbiosis with a good execution, and it investigates new ways of approaching the construction, functionality and aesthetics of everyday objects and spaces. Supported by the believe there’s no constant except change and that joy is the accelerator of creativity, he’s not afraid to wander aimlessly and conduct experiments in search of the coincidental beauty of failure. The resulting work is a combination of strong lines, subtle details, innovative techniques and bold statements, often questioning archetypes and their respective interpretations by mankind.

The Therese XL chandelier emits a magical light and is made from 16 transparent contours illuminated by a fluorescent bulb.

The Sputnik coffeetable draws inspiration from traditional Origami techniques. A single aluminum sheet has been scored and hand-folded into the final product, resulting in both aesthetic appeal, and incomparable sturdiness.

The co-axial Woofer speaker system is a cross-over between a sound system and two loyal companions. Its custom engineered electronic filters offer superb sound quality.

The VK001 is an industrially produced chair with handmade qualities.

The U-tube oil lamp / candleholder pays homage to global industrial archetypes through the use of heavyweight, oversized materials, sturdy powder coated finish, and the lack of electrical parts.
