Luuk van Laarhoven
Overview
Luuk van Laarhoven is a Dutch designer who believes there is here is always a hidden beauty in materials, and he has set out to try and find these different qualities
To understand the behaviour of metallic elements, experiments were done on a variety of different surfaces, both mechanically and by hand. By introducing heat to the metal an oxidation process starts, this process releases an array of colour transforming the metal to warmer bronze tones and oily iridescent colours, making objects to last, material wise but also in form and colour.
It is the methodology developed through these experiments that continues to be applied in the Burned Collection, exhibited by Mia Karlova Galerie. All products are designed and produced within Luuk van Laarhoven's studio.
