Growing volumes of wood are being used in construction, interior architecture, and product design, resulting in increasing amounts of wood waste. Using this waste is challenging, because it is too labor-intensive to process large volumes of uneven wood pieces that vary in geometry, quality, and origin. …

As a student of industrial product design I have gotten used to making and fixing everything myself. If I run into a problem or a product breaks, I try to solve and repair it. If I couldn’t do it yet, I'd just learn how to. This led me to build my own house on wheels at the start of 2020. The complete …

Dutch industrial manufacturers are confronted a new and promising industrial robot: the collaborative robot (cobot). These small robotic arms are revolutionary as they allow direct and safe interaction with production workers for the very first time. The direct interaction between production worker and …

NL:  Tijdens het ontwerptraject van deze Tolhuijs stoel stond het woord simpel centraal voor zowel destoel zelf als de productietechniek. De intentie is om de stoel te laten produceren in socialewerkplaatsen. De benodigde materialen voor de stoel zijn afkomstig van afvalstromen van anderebedrijven, waarbij …

Dutch: Repurpose: Afgedankte producten en reststromen hergebruiken in een andere functie en/of context om daarmee de waarde van deze materialen te behouden. Binnen dat kader is voor Ahrend de CiJal Bench ontworpen, waarbij gebruik is gemaakt van kunststof (PP) lameldeuren en Ciranol werkbladen. De lameldeuren …
