I recently acquired an item designed by Tord Boontje and I will admit the item's design was probably the single biggest argument when making the decision to buy it. Being so impressed I decided to snoop around for other work by this artist, and I found a beautiful world of mystery and emotion.
Tord Boontje was born in enschede, netherlands in 1968. He studied industrial design at the academy in Eindhoven and followed with a master course at the royal college of art, in London. In 1996 he founded Studio Tord Boontje, where he still practices his philosophy of bringing together the emotional and the functional.
