The “HumanTouch Dutch Droog Design Masters Exhibition”, which ended in the Shanghai Bund, once again brought people the great charm of Dutch design. As the leader of Droog Design's younger generation of designers, Chris Kabel is predicted by Core77 as one of the most promising designers in the Netherlands for several years to come.

The Dutch are keen on design. They live in a small country with low grounds. The essence is all the essence. A large stamp is often spent a lot of thought. Dutch designers have always been the masters of problem solving. They are good at making a product practical and innovative. It is second to none. They are also willing to act as listeners, they will not let the work out of the subject, and the thinking will not be marginal. The brand of cooperation is happy.

In the “Dutch Design Week” of Eindhoven in October 2005, many “fancy and skillful, conceptually inspiring people” made the critics shocked. They even suggested that the international design community set 2005 as "Netherlands Design Year". This year, the Dutch wind is still in the doldrums. The “HumanTouch” Dutch Droog Design Master Exhibition, which just ended on the 18th of Shanghai Bund, once again brought people the great charm of Dutch design.

Founded by jewelry designer Gijs Bakker and design critic Renny Ramakers, Droog brings together imaginative, pioneer-independent designers to enlighten the customer base, and acts as a medium. Droog is an inexplicable word. It is meant to be "dry" and "lack of substance" in Dutch. It is a satire on the "ascetic" design because of the loose design community, because members Independent design, surprisingly similar in the absence of modified randomness. "Dry wisdom" is not only Droog's design attitude, but also a refined and temporary solution for Dutch design. Due to the unique vision of the Droog leader and the ability to master the brand, Jurgen Bey, Marcel Wanders and Hella Jongerius started from Droog and gradually grew to be the star on the international design stage. At the same time, Droog's other rookies are also growing rapidly, and the blue is better than the blue. Chris Kabel is the generation of this rookie. The alienation and surprise made him inspire.

Chris Kabel was born in 1975 in Bloemendaal, not far from Amsterdam. After graduating from the Edwin Hoch School of Design, he officially started his independent design work in Rotterdam. In just five years, he has grown into a new generation of Dutch design, and is predicted by Core77 to be the most promising ten in the Netherlands in the coming years. One of the big designers. His design is simple and practical, and he has a sense of humor. He has made bold attempts in the fields of lamps, tableware, sofas, jewelry, T-shirts, gifts, interiors and architecture.

“I like to reflect on the trivial and mediocre daily life, and to post some less important things. I also try to redefine people’s various behaviors. The way a work works often makes me fascinated. I believe its function is It’s the people who use it, not the designer. In order to make my design more amazed, I like to distort or change them, of course, in order to change the way people use certain things. And their original understanding of it. In short, in a broader context I will create something new and more meaningful." This confession can be seen as Chris's design philosophy, with a kind As if I have never seen it in the eyes of the world, this alienation and surprise always make him inspiration.


Chris Kabel's graduation work is now in production. His client list includes world-renowned brands such as Alessi, Moooi, Levi's, and Heineken. But whoever has the deepest connection with him is Droog. "Stickylamp" is one of ChrisKabel's masterpieces, appeared in the 2002 Milan International Rouge Hotel, and was listed as a permanent collection by Droog. Unplug the lamp cover. Feel free to stick to the height of the ι夏阆胍?, the hidden story behind this practical and thoughtful design is: Chris was studying "instant solution", when something was broken or something was missing, people Usually, I will turn to the tools for the first time. “Belts, ropes, threads, rubber bands, paper clips, these are great ammonia. Chris is very interesting. He even got a book with photos of these great tools. . Among them, one is attached to the “Sticky lamp” (adhesive) that is attached to the “Important (8) 峁┒ 菡 菡 鞯 鞯 鞯 鞯 庾 庾 ? ? ? ? ? ? , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 灵感 灵感 灵感 灵感 灵感The light was born very soon under his hand. Loyal to yourself, loyal to nature
In 2004, in order to celebrate the election as “the European Capital of Culture”, Lille invited Droog to design something special. Finally, Chris Kabel’s “Lace Shade kills people’s eyes. He tried to use this kind of feminine underwear in lace. Unearthed its other use, not just as a decorative pattern. So a unique umbrella with a leaf pattern appeared – it was placed in the middle of the city square for sunshade – making people feel like sitting It’s the same under the shade. There is also a big lace umbrella in Chris’s studio, but that’s for the visitors.

In the 2005 Design Yearbook by Marcel Wanders, Chris also has two fun works to earn from, so that the people who saw it?x had a question mark in his head and a smile on his lips. 1totree can be stretched into a chandelier by a simple lamp; flames, which look like candles, but flames are produced by natural gas, exactly the same as Chris's definition of a good design. "It must be smart." It’s really amazing, not just the solution provided, but also the form, material and meaning.”

Chris Kabel doesn't care what other designers are doing, nor does it take into account what the media is discussing. The most popular, when encountering a particular design or technical problem, first imagine what happens when this "nature" is called? He also suggested that people go to Cuba to see how beautiful the world without advertising. When I had a positive and deep contact with Chris Kabel, I also learned that this time I played the song indefinitely, because he couldn’t listen to their designer’s bones with a typical Dutch. Personality: Be true to yourself and be true to nature.
