„Atelier NL“ co-founder, designer, and lecturer
Netherlands
Lonny van Ryswyck is co-owner of design studio Atelier NL, together with creative partner Nadine Sterk. Atelier NL believes that design has the ability to connect local communities to the valuable resources that surround them. Their work explores the potential of local sourcing and production by focusing on the subtleties of the earth right under our feet. Lonny teaches at the Design Academy Eindhoven and gives lectures & workshops worldwide to share Atelier NL’s unique design philosophy that concentrates on raw materials, responsible production practices, and good craftsmanship.
Atelier NL holds the notion of community engagement and public participation at its core by embracing local resources and focusing on the important connection between people and their environment. They invite you to ‘think global and dig local’ in order to implement new design strategies into your work and day-to-day lives.
