ABOUT

Neeltje Design Studio is an independent design studio focused on lighting and sculptural objects. Everything is handmade to order.

Behind each object lies an extensive research in the matter, whether the roots of the subject lie in astronomy, japanese garden philosophy or sculpture, one can find a strong story telling and spiritual layer. 

‘In my designs I try to grasp the beauty of things that seem ungraspable, like moonlight, an eclipse, a scent or a reflection in water'. I strive to make you feel a highly personal and closely connection towards my objects. 

__  Neeltje Kromdijk, Founder of Neeltje Design Studio

POEM 

I borrowed the moon. For her to look upon indirectly, knowing that a direct stare could make one mad. Like a moonviewing platform in a Japanese Garden. Do you see what I see? Can you see what there is not. In a pool of water one can see itself, waiting for the mind to become clear, when she appears from behind clouds...
