Working from his studio in Eindhoven (NL), Dutch designer Bart Joachim van Uden is on a quest to find meaning and romance in the endless flow of artefacts and byproducts coming from our over-productive culture. Through an extensive exploration of qualities and possibilities of a seemingly banal material or object he transforms the mundane into an immersive experience by blending research and poetry. Doing so he encourages us to reconsider our ideas on beauty, status and aesthetic value. His unique approach can be adapted to multidisciplinary projects spanning from collaborations with the industry to spatial design and sculptural art.
