Grondvormen

Grondvormen (Dutch for ‘fundamental forms’) is a spontaneous collaboration between designers Sander Boeijink, Nienke Sybrandy and Jeroen Wand. We got to know each other at the Sandberg Institute and soon discovered through experience that by working together, the three of us could think further than we can individually. 

We each have our own methods, but share a fascination for the archetype of stereotypes. Together we have discovered new possibilities in ordinary things. It begins with a prototype and ends with a thing that is unique among its own kind. The materials typically used are wood, glass and flora.

Elixer

Through the sound of clinking champagne glasses a distant bubbling could be heard coming form Elixer Installation by artistic threesome Grondvormen. This labyrinth of tubes and pipes was busy distilling a 'magical' elixir from plants.

The three designers that make up Grondvormen (Sander Boeijink, Nienke Sybrandy and Jeroen Wand) often work with plant matter, and here challenged the visitor to think about the workings of plants.
