SUMMER SYNERGY

TH. K. VAN LOHUIZENLAAN

Rive Roshan and Form Editions hosted 'Summer Synergy'— a pre-launch event in their Amsterdam studio, transforming the space into a multi-functional creative hub.

The space is dedicated to the vision of connecting with like-minded industry professionals and fostering an environment of inspiration, culture, and creativity.
The Exhibition

This coming together of like-minded creatives transformed the studio into a vibrant hub of creativity, featuring iconic, sculptural art objects by Rive Roshan, Studio Verbaan, Frank Penders, Collin Velkoff, Linda Weimann, and Marc Meeuwisen.

The Designers

Frank Penders combines his experience as a photographer, metal worker and civil engineer. A strong combination of aesthetic, conceptual, hands-on and technical qualities that he uses to design to the purest shapes.

Rive Roshan is the artistic practice of Ruben de la Rive Box and Golnar Roshan, with a deep interest in colour, texture and materiality leads to an aesthetic of raw beauty.

Studio Verbaan's handcrafted wooden pieces sit somewhere between furniture, objects and sculpture, the contrast of the minimalistic shapes and traditional craft, goes beyond the object’s functionality.

Collin Velkoff investigates the fluidity and malleability of function as he attempts to generate narratives through the creation of unique objects. His wide range of experience with materials and their process culminates in the development of new methodologies of creation.

Linda Weimann blends traditional craft with new expressions, redefining ornamentation in sculpture and site-specific projects. Using gypsum craft, she explores how classic algorithms work in space and objects, reflecting an obsession with natural variation.

Designer Marc Meeuwissen (Dear Objects) takes over the tool from the craftsman in the series of functional objects entitled ‘BRUTALISTA’. More specifically, the handsaw.
