RvR Chair by Dirk van der Kooij

10-16 Weeks
Colour:

Composed of a single extruded shape, the RVR is a stackable monoblock. Broad-printed surfaces display tonal pigmentation, as colours gently shift through stacked lines. The printed structure of the RvR has been flattened to create a smooth, gently hugging surface. Tell-tale undulations of low-resolution 3D printing can be recognized on the underside of the chair. The RVR is available in a range of 9 colours. Colour expression is influenced by variations in the recycled plastic source material. Hence, colours and textures are subject to constant fluctuation.

Not suitable for use outdoors.

The Netherlands

In 2009, Dirk van der Kooij founded this studio in the basement of the Design Academy, Eindhoven. His guiding question was seemingly simple: could plastic be an honest, durable material? Six pizza ovens welded together proved that yes, it could. The resulting Elephant Skin series saw recycled plastic wrinkle and contract as it cooled outside of a mould, conjuring a rich, living tactility. The ultimate imitator had finally found an identity of its own.

A decade since this adventure began, Dirk produces a tightly curated range of forever furniture in his Amsterdam-based factory. Select pieces have joined the permanent collections of the Stedelijk museum, MoMA New York, MoMA San Francisco, Vitra Design Museum, Design Museum London, and the National Museum in Oslo.
