Arthur Rottier
Arthur Rottier is a designer and product developer based in Arnhem, the Netherlands. His practice moves between commissioned work and self–initiated projects, driven by an interest in how objects can be conceived and produced locally using contemporary means. The work is defined by advanced, computer–controlled engineering and production methods, careful finishing, and a restrained approach to form. Durability is central: materials are chosen for wear resistance, constructions are clear and legible, and connections are simple. Affordability is considered part of the design challenge. At the core of the practice lies the belief that beauty is essential to sustainability. Objects that are valued are cared for, and what is cared for lasts.
At MACA Museum, Arthur Rottier presents his complete furniture collection during 3daysofdesign. Tables, benches, cabinets, storage pieces, seating, and accessories are shown as one coherent body of work, developed from a shared material language. The collection is defined by novel production techniques, new materials, and experimental finishes. Visitors are invited to experience the furniture firsthand and to explore objects designed to be used, tested, and lived with.
