Throughout his work, Tord Boontje explores juxtapositions of the old and new, naturalism and technology. Born in the Netherlands in 1968, he studied industrial design at the Eindhoven Design Academy before enrolling at the Royal College of Art in London. The launch of Tord’s Wednesday Collection marks an evolution in Tord’s work. The Wednesday Collection harnesses advanced technologies to unexpected materials. Tord has developed a romantic and poetic aesthetic, depicting nature combined with a flair for vibrant colour.
Tord was nominated Designer of the Year by Elle Decoration UK and the Garland Light won the awards for best light and readers choice for Future Classic.
