Discours de la Méthode: Play Outside
Event 12/04/2025 18:00 - A.K.T;
As part of the current A.K.T; exhibition «Future Narratives», MADFM is honored to welcome the internationally active Dutch designer Jólan van der Wiel for a conversation about his work, passions and curiosities.
Jólan van der Wiel leads a collaborative design practice that conducts artistic experiments within multiple themes and environments. His creative explorations result in original design tools, new materials and unique objects.
Jólan van der Wiel established his multidisciplinary practice in 2011 in Amsterdam. A Gerrit Rietveld Academy graduate, Jólan is an intuitive designer and creator, equipped with a peculiar mix of expertise. Starting from his personal fascination with extreme natural phenomena, he creates unusual shapes and materials that challenge our understanding of ‘invisible’ forces.
Jólan van der Wiel (JVDW) works closely with architects, scientists, fashion designers, brands and institutions, such as Iris van Herpen, Benthem Crouwel Architects, Volvo Cars, Issey Miyake, the Metropolitan Museum and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City.
The conversation will be in English.
