The Rotterdam-based duo Minale-Maeda created a collection of furniture designs that are completely downloadable – meaning you download the instructions and can get to work building them yourself. The Inside Out Furniture is a way of redefining how we, as consumers, have access to furniture. Instead of the manufacturing, transportation, and other costs involved in mass production, the line offers an alternative and cost effective solution to good design

Rotganzen is a Rotterdam based artist collective formed by Robin Stam, Joeri Horstink and Mark van Wijk. They’ve created a party tent, appropriately named Party. The party is over and a party tent, with partially tilted legs, has been left behind. This exact image is captured and stylized in Party, a series of objects made out of steel. Something that was once fragile has now become solid.

Joost van Bleiswijk and Kiki van Eijk present new work at VIVID Gallery in Rotterdam now through January 5, 2011. The works of Joost van Bleiswijk and Kiki van Eik in this exhibition reinforce each other in a positive way through juxtaposition — the tough strength of Joost’s heavy steel plates against the fragility of Kiki’s airy and less systematic structures give an additional tension to both artifacts. For this exhibition Van Bleiswijk worked only with thick steel plates and a blowtorch to create the “no screw no glue rough” edition. He made sculptures that could be art pieces but also used as tables or cupboards.
