one of my two mentors (conveniently both called mark) is mark van der groden. with his studio in an old brabantia warehouse next door to maarten baas*. I just thought what he was doing was cool. he did a collection of heavy duty household items. he was sick of dainty breakable things for the home and wanted something durable. the red handles are similar to the rubber coating you would find on the handle of a pair of pliers. there's also a pretty cool concept for a shelving system based on the idea that these storage containers are all different - except the base size is constant. neat-o!
his
website isn't very comprehensive (at all!) but it has a cool tin cast of a gun. a project of him and the other mark. fun!
"The beauty of heavy tools is assembled from bits and pieces of metal plumbing, which makes a coffeepot or teapot indestructible and eternal."
"Storage with a colourful collection of recycled containers is organized in galvanized building blocks of metal."
*seriously.
