Jurgen Bey

Born in 1965 in the Netherlands, Jurgen Bey currently lives and works in Rotterdam.

Jurgen is known to be a critical designer and takes a critical stance on what is viewed as mainstream. He sees good art as scientific research that enables people to experience reality differently over and over again. Bey believes that the solutions to everything we want lie in the world around us and he is driven to recognize that and turn those solutions in to something that people are interested in and want to use. ¨As a designer I feel like an explorer travelling the world out of curiosity or being sent with a mission, investigating, asking questions and making connections.¨ Bey´s work generally regards the material side of design. One of his most famous works is Vacuum Bag Furniture, giving dust value by using it to create comfortable furniture.
