Boontje is massively impressive. He was educated at Eindhoven Academy and was formerly the head of the design department at the Royal College of Art. His studio is based in the Shoreditch neighborhood of London, where he and his team reinvigorate traditional processes like lace, veneer, embroidery, and carving. In his own words, “Modernism does not mean minimalism, contemporary does not forsake tradition, and technology does not mean abandon people and senses.” Boontje is deeply committed to socially-conscious initiatives, including the Artecnica Design With Conscious Project, which produced this whimsical ‘Witches’ Kitchen. The utensils were designed by the studio and made by artisan communities in Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala.
