The designer Roderick Vos has a special, often intuitive way of working. A limited sketch, which is then immediately elaborated to actual size, is followed by an initial prototype. In this way he literally comes into contact with every aspect of shape, handling materials and production during the creative process. That is how many of his products retain a typical traditional personality despite their industrial appearance.

Quote: "The idea behind a design is something I find personal and not really that important. The product eventually designed by me must be able to tell its own product . Only in this way does a product justify its existence. I hate intellectual stories about dead simple everyday objects"

Factory visits are crucial for him; Quote "technology always provides me with the best ideas for new designs; of course in the end I do make a detailed product drawing. But I don t make it until the product is ready. 

Various products by Studio Roderick Vos are housed in museums, including The Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum. (products for the Italian company Driade)
