Maarten den Breeijen Born 07-07-’89 in Eindhoven, Netherlands
About My background is in Industrial Design Engineering, but in my way of working I have a more artistic approach. It is a challenging and exciting combination. I see myself as someone between two worlds; I don’t really feel like an artist, but I am not a hard-core engineer either. As an Industrial Design student I work often behind computers and produce 3d models and renderings as results. I find it also important to get away from computers from time to time, to make prototypes and art projects.

CRISIS CHAIR PERSONAL PROJECT WITH PIERRE BUTTIN

The Crisis Chair is made by stacking two IKEA Lack tables on

top of each other. Its costs of 10 euros makes it a nice pick for people who want to afford original designer furniture while on

a recession.
53cm*53cm*106cm
The chair was displayed at Stockholm Furniture Fair ‘12 Photography
alongside expensive designer furniture. Due to financial

difficulties there was no money to finance a stand and the chair was driven around at the fair while we proclaimed our message of recession. The Crisis Chair received positive critique from numerous designers at the fair and was also mentioned on design blogs.
