VISSERMEIJWAARD is a Dutch design studio specializing in product and scenographic exhibition design, based in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Creative director Vera Meijwaard, born in 1988 in Naarden, The Netherlands, studied product design at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem. By playing with materiality, context, and scale and with a fascination for ‘form follows function’, she researches new applications for hidden aesthetics found in the everyday. Vera Meijwaard and Steven Visser design clear but minimalist products that play associatively with material, color, and form. The broad spectrum of their work ranges from furniture and lighting to textiles, ceramics, and glassware.
The Milpesos lamp is their first design for Ames, a special collaboration as Vera fell in love with the pearl-like wave structure and intertwined knots of the Seje palm tree, a unique material for a unique lighting collection.
