Buitenhuis
Dirk van der Kooij, 2017
Recycled plastic
Made in Zaandam, NL
Originally commissioned to hang within a spiral staircase, the ring can be adjusted spontaneously by hand. A two-way pulley system ensures smooth, dynamic tilting. Each arc is built slowly from ribbons of molten recycled plastic. Sourced from rooftop windows, safety glasses, and industrial chocolate moulds, this unlikely material gifts durability and glasslike transparency to the design.
The Buitenhuis Chandelier is composed of honey-tinted ribbons of recycled plastic.
Color variations may occur due to the use of recycled materials. To ensure as much cohesion as possible, all desired units should be included in one order.
