Inspired by the small, seemingly inconsequential things in life, designer Sander van Heukelom looked to something as small and trivial as spray can caps as the inspiration behind a line of chairs. Designed for his solo exhibition in Amsterdam titled The Artistry of the Capâ€, the two-piece collection includes the “New York Fat Cap Chair†and the “Hooded Fat Cap Chairâ€.
About the artist:
Sander van Heukelom (1972) already began experimenting with typographic design and graffiti as a teenager.
Although his basic style has not changed much since then, his current work makes use of many different materials, such as styrofoam, plexiglas, synthetic resin and wood.
Sander, who is a graphic designer by profession, draws his inspiration from his extensive travels. After five years spent travelling around the world and teaching kite surfing on several continents, his creativity has taken wing. Sander is now known especially for his three-dimensional typographic sculpture and paintings with spray can and resin.
He also makes other various art objects, of which a few are shown in this portfolio.
