Men At Work

Tiddo de Ruiter and Dennis Slootweg are Men at Work: two self-producing furniture designers from The Hague. Their works enhance each other by the attention paid to materials (particularly metal and wood), their traditional methods (the making of prototypes in atelier and adjoining workshop, the meticulous implementation and skilful production), their aversion to trends, and their passion for industrial quotations and detailing. And the literal sustainability of their products. In Milan, variants of their successful existing collections have been presented, as well as new designs, with new materials and techniques.
