Rick Tegelaar

Born in Rotterdam in 1986, Dutch designer Rick Tegelaar graduated with honours in product design from ArtEZ Academy in Arnhem in 2011. Since then, he has worked as an independent designer from his atelier and design studio, focusing on self-initiated and bespoke commissioned projects.

An uncompromising desire to experiment and a curiosity to learn

Tegelaar explores and reinterprets undervalued materials, such as chicken wire and reclaimed wood, aiming to create new applications for these unconventional resources. The challenge is to project new forms and qualities, and to create new aesthetics. This creative journey of redefining materials and crafting innovative product designs has formed the Sasi-collection, which is made from aluminium in different surface finishes. The subtle contrast between anodized and polished metal is an important design motif in Rick Tegelaar’s collection for Nuura.
