Arnout Visser (1962, NL) is an idiosyncratic designer. Traditions and contradictions permeate his oeuvre: traditional workmanship versus mass production, form versus function.
Arnout Visser laid the foundation for the success of Droog Design in the 1990s, together with designers such as Richard Hutten, Piet Hein Eek and Eibert Draisma. He designed icons such as the Salad Sunrise and the Optic Glasses.
His love for glass is great. Visser considers glassblowing “the ultimate craft”, because you need motor skills bordering on the unbelievable.
