Knowledge and passion for abstract expressionist paintings, led to a series of large, painted 3D sculptures based on sketches of powerful objects including this four storey Sketched Cabinet. The forms are made in a spontaneous and expressive way by cutting, bending, shaping and welding in the workshop. These elaborate gestures create unique, strong shapes.
Joost van Bleiswijk (b. 1976, Netherlands) is a prolific Dutch designer who gives great value to the process of making. He grew up in Delft, and studied at the Design Academy of Eindhoven, where he met his future partner, Kiki van Eijk. His work references iconic designs such as grandfather clocks, high-backed chairs, chess sets, and cupboards; bringing these designs into a contemporary setting has marked Joost’s work throughout his career. A genuine fascination for the construction of the object – often revealed in the final outcome – is the starting point of his process.
