Studio Visit : Tord Boontje

Crane.tv visits Dutch product designer Tord Boontje in his studio in Southwark. Here, he tells us about growing up in Holland and how the birth of his daughter led him to re-think how design could enhance the space he calls home.

Tord Boontje is the current department head of Design Products at the Royal College of Art. In the past years, since he was appointed, his decorative aesthetic and playful method have begun to shape the future of the program; we have seen exhibitions such as the 'Hotel RCA' in Milan and most recently the interim show hosted at the Victorian & Albert Museum in London.
