WHY

When we are talking about "Design for Life" there are probably many things that needs to be questioned, left could very well be right. The objective of DesignBoost - Made in [Arnhem] is to make everybody question, reach awareness and think in new paths when it comes to creating better lives for lots of people. This is after all the ultimate goal for all design.

Joost Alferink, Designer

Maverick best describes Joost Alferink (1964). A graduate of the Technical University Delft, Alferink is principally a product & interior designer whose forte is design consultancy. He doesn’t believe in penultimates. There’s nothing special about being a designer. As far as he’s concerned, what one does for a living is unimportant. What’s important is how one feels about what one does. Whatever it is I’m engaged in, I’m essentially addressing the question: Who am I? Alferink seeks inspiration in irritation (like the pearl and the oyster). Emotion is his catalyst. (text for waacs by meghan ferrill).

Anna Maria Orru, Ecological Architect & Research Curator

Anna Maria Orru has worked with a wide range of prestigious firms including Arup, Grimshaw Architects, Shigeru Ban and Exploration Architecture as an architect and research curator.

She believes that a better future, one that is resilient, resource-abundant and conducive to life, lies in the knowledge banks of nature’s elegant, imaginative and creative solutions, and is currently investigating food as a tool for these design paradigm shifts.
