I often work from the idea of what I can do with a the material, how can I manipulate it so that I achieve the desired result. my works are always made from residual waste from large companies or take it away before it goes into a recycling process.

With this method I try to tell my story in the form of series of functional or non-functional objects.

More About Dirk Duif

Question IconWhat inspires you?

I try to observe a piece of furniture and from there pick out the things that attract me. From this point of view I incorporate this into my own design, think of a hand grip the attachment of a backrest, etc. In my opinion it is almost an unwritten rule to use material that is already there. And then use it to design the way I had in mind.
