Esther and Sam, both graduates of the Design Academy of Eindhoven, are partners, both in life and in their studio. They founded their Eindhoven studio in 2014.

Their favoriite area to work with is light. They work on their light fittings down to the last detail. They do not just draw. They also prototype and create, sharing a love for mechanics and movement. Their mathematical approach to design encourages them to avoid the obvious, to reinvent objects when they build. When asked what inspires them, they respond without hesitation: Everything! We are curious. We are inspired by observing the world.

And yet their light fittings seem to be invitations to travel aboard ships, setting out to discover our galaxy. In the presence of a curtain of VVV, in addition to its unmatched elegance, there is an emergent energy. Speed and power take over the void.
