Joost van Bleiswijk, a prominent Dutch designer, is known for his distinct style that merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary innovation. Born in Delft and educated at the Design Academy Eindhoven, where he met his partner Kiki van Eijk, van Bleiswijk has carved out a unique niche in the design world. His creations often reference iconic objects like grandfather clocks, high-backed chairs, and cupboards, but they are reinterpreted in bold, contemporary ways that challenge the viewer’s understanding of utility and aesthetics.
Van Bleiswijk’s work is rooted in his fascination with construction, often revealing the object’s build in its final form. His creative process is instinctive and gestural, and he engages with design as a physical, hands-on act. His most renowned early work, the No Glue No Screw collection, set the tone for his career, with each piece assembled using interlocking parts without traditional fasteners. This series, along with later collections like Mechanic and Protopunk, showcase his preference for strong lines, geometric shapes, and the deliberate exposure of construction techniques. Van Bleiswijk’s work defies conventional notions of usefulness, instead pushing the boundaries of form and function in pursuit of audacious creativity.
Throughout his career, van Bleiswijk has collaborated with renowned brands such as MOOOI, Bernhardt Design, ICE Carpets, and Secondome, as well as public institutions like the Rijksmuseum, the Zuiderzee Museum, and the Noord Brabants Museum. His collaborations with these institutions often involve reinterpreting historical designs in his modern style, bridging the gap between the past and present.
In addition to these collaborations, van Bleiswijk’s work has been exhibited in major cities and venues worldwide, including Basel, London, Paris, Milan, Venice, New York, Tokyo, and Moscow. His distinctive approach to design, which melds craftsmanship with a rebellious aesthetic, has earned him international recognition.
