Somers, Wieki

STUDIO WIEKI SOMERS comprises the designers Wieki Somers and Dylan van de Berg.

The studio has developed an international reputation since 2003 for the extraordinary way the designers unite surprising fantasies about everyday things with a great sensitivity for materials, technological detailing and aesthetic finish. They transform of products into a special experience.

They undertake commissions for international companies, museums and galleries such as Galerie Kreo in Paris. They design for manufacture and for small-scale artisanal production and at a variety of scales, for interiors and public spaces.
Their well-know works include the \'Bathboat\', \'High Tea Pot\', \'Blossoms\', \'Bellflower\' and the \'Merry-go-round Coatrack\' at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. They have won various prizes (including The Golden Eye of the Dutch Design Awards 2009), and their works are included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
