Dieter Volkers is a designer from Maastricht, graduated from the ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem where he is based today. His work space is the place to set his mind free, the place where he developed a series of functional, but also aesthetically strong objects. With his ‘Tools and Objects’ he knows how to attract attention to everyday products and acts. As Dieter explains:
“The products are the result of functional objects.
Objects which are powerful in their aesthetics.
My collection represents the actions of our daily lives.
Central is the value of ‘normal’ things and acts, such as passing a door.”
Present at OODE, is a piece of Dieter’s ‘normal’ things – the Ball Clamp. This opaque lamp looks like a squeezed ball with a clamp, to put wherever. The ball itself is open from the bottom, to easily put a regular light bulb. A typical dutch design lamp – very useful and with a bit of humor. Available for purchase, also in the webshop.
