RODERICK VOS

Roderick Vos is a Dutch designer with a strong fascination for materials, colour and craftsmanship. From his studio in Nijmegen, he designs furniture, lighting, textiles and accessories in which simplicity, functionality and character come together.

During a formative period in Japan, Roderick developed his design vision and a deep appreciation for Asian craft traditions. That influence is still visible in his work today: clear forms, refined details and objects that speak through their presence and use.

In his designs, Roderick continuously explores the relationship between technology and craftsmanship. With a hands-on approach and a strong focus on materials, he creates timeless designs that feel familiar while carrying a distinctive signature of their own.

Roderick Vos collaborates with both national and international brands on collections that connect craftsmanship and innovation. His work is included in the collections of institutions such as the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Museum of Arts and Design.

"My way of working is different from that of contemporaries. Industrial techniques of the past, as well as those of the future, are of everlasting inspiration to us as designers. Good designs naturally flow from a good basic concept, but also certainly by applying new technology or an innovative material. But above all: designs have to be logical, after all, we make utilitarian objects."

'The art of really good design, is that it doesn't feel like design.'

Together with Henk Vos, Roderick Vos designed the 6400 series, which is inspired by the Bauhaus style of the 1920s. The style is characterised by simplicity, symmetry and functionality: the core values for the 6400 sofa, and the 4800 sofa his father designed earlier.
