Fuorisalone 2014: Workmates

Fuorisalone 2014: Workmates showing “Depicted” in The Lambrate Area in Milano during Milano Design Week 2014. Workmates are 4 designers (Rick Tegelaar, Caspar Tolhuisen, Joris de Groot and Klaas Kuiken) from Arnhem, The Netherlands. Or as they say themselves: “We are an open collective. the composition of which is always growing and changing in an organic fashion. The products of Workmates are characterised by a hands-on approach in which attempting, experimenting and working in a workshop is important” To emphasise this craftsmanship they showed their designs in a raw ambiance, an old garage, and placed their work in/on rough wooden crates. We, at Mimi Berlin, think that all the designs we saw are, next to clever and interesting, beautiful and they will be so even when placed in a more “slick” environment.
