The conceptual focus of DeridderDesignstudio is on existing products and the way people treat them. Founder Willem Deridder believes that many mass-produced items deserve more appreciation and care in respect to the way they are manufactured and distributed. By showing the forgotten or hidden beauty of these products he creates new responsibilities and perspectives.
