<\/strong><\/p>\n Sam Janssen, 1995, The Netherlands<\/strong> Graduated (2017) as Creative Craftsman at the Hout en Meubileringscollege in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n From furniture to objects.<\/strong> The products I make are becoming increasingly<\/strong> abstract. <\/strong><\/p>\n Can’t a chair be a functionless object? Just an object to observe and to free your mind of thoughts.<\/p>\n Read more!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Art.<\/strong><\/p>\n Abstractness creates room for fantasy.<\/strong><\/p>\n Philosophize about life, society and nature. How do I see the world? What is my vision? What is reality? Or do we all have our own reality? What’s going on around me? How does this affect me? These questions inspire me.<\/p>\n We all interpret and see things in a different way. This creates space for a conversation. My art is my answer. To talk about it, that\u2019s my goal. To find out what drives us. This is what inspires me. Because I think it’s important we keep up the conversation. Because it\u2019s the only way to understand and appreciate each other. Without any further motives. Without prejudice.<\/p>\n Read more!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Restoration. <\/strong><\/p>\n After my education I worked as a furniture restorer at MARIEKKE vintage. Where I gave new life to design classics from brands such as Pastoe, Mario Bellini, Hans J. Wenger, Eero Saarinen and Thonet.<\/p>\n Now, in addition to my work as a visual artist, I also work as a freelance furniture restorer. I will ensure that your furniture is restored to its former glory. By treating it with attention, craftsmanship and passion.<\/p>\n Read more!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Two languages.<\/strong><\/p>\n As you may have noticed, my website is bilingual (Dutch\/English). I do this for a reason. Art is universal and that is why I write my website universal.<\/p>\n For my furniture restoration I specifically focus on regional clients, which is why I chose to write this section in Dutch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Sam Janssen, 1995, Nederland<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n Afgestudeerd (2017) als Creatief Vakman aan het Hout en Meubileringscollege in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n Van design tot object.<\/strong><\/p>\n Het begon allemaal met het maken van designmeubels. Een gebruiksvoorwerp. Een product met een duidelijke functie. Mooi, maar\u2026ja, dat woord ‘functie’ bleef maar aan mij knagen. Waarom moet iets een gebruiksfunctie hebben?<\/p>\n De producten die ik maak worden steeds abstracter. <\/strong><\/p>\n Kan een stoel geen functieloos object zijn? Iets om te observeren, je gedachten bij te verliezen. En is het dan functieloos?<\/p>\n Lees meer!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Kunst.<\/strong><\/p>\n Filosoferen over het leven, de maatschappij en de natuur. Wat is mijn kijk op de wereld? Mijn visie? Wat is realiteit? Of heeft iedereen zijn eigen realiteit? Wat gebeurt er om me heen? Wat zie ik? Wat doet dat met mij? Allemaal vragen die mij bezig houden.<\/p>\n Abstractheid geeft ruimte voor fantasie en een eigen mening.<\/strong><\/p>\n Iedereen interpreteert, ziet en voelt iets anders dan een ander. Hierdoor ontstaat er ruimte voor een gesprek. Mijn kunst is mijn antwoord. Erover in gesprek gaan is mijn doel. Om er samen achter te komen wat ons drijft. Omdat dit de enige manier is om elkaar te kunnen begrijpen. Elkaar te kunnen waarderen. Zonder verdere motieven. Zonder vooroordeel.<\/p>\n

It all started with creating design furniture. Designing and creating a product with a clear function, a utensil. Nice, but\u2026yea, the word ‘function’ kept popping up in my mind. And I couldn\u2019t help myself to wonder. Why does something need to have a function?<\/p>\nIK BEN SAM.<\/strong><\/h1>\n
