The work of Friso Kramer (1922-2019) has had a profound impact on the international design world, making him one of the most significant designers known in the Netherlands. His unmistakable mark on industrial design can still be seen today.
Born in 1922, Friso Kramer began experimenting with various materials and techniques at a young age. While studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague, he specialized in industrial design. And his talent did not go unnoticed. One of his most famous designs is the Revolt chair for Ahrend. A sleek and functional chair, made from conventional sheet steel. Unobtrusive and serving, just like his also well-known design of the green mailbox.
Friso Kramer’s designs are functional, timeless, and innovative. They remain relevant from generation to generation, long after they first hit the market.
“If the form does not contribute to the function, it has no right to exist.”
