Dutch designer Tord Boontje studied industrial design at the
Eindhoven Design Academy before enrolling at the Royal College of
Art in London. His work explores juxtapositions of the old and new,
naturalism and technology and he developed a romantic and poetic
aesthetic, depicting nature combined with a flair for vibrant
colour.
Tord is most famous for his Garland light for Habitat and his
continued alliance with Swarovski, designing chandeliers for their
Crystal Palace project. He was nominated for the Designer Of The
Year Award by Elle Decoration UK.
