About

Who drew these

Robin Aalders in the studio

Twelve years of objects that get held, switched on and shipped in the tens of thousands. Five of them inside a lighting company's studio, the rest here in Strijp-S, one desk from the machine shop. Every part is filed by its largest fillet, because that is the number that decides how it feels in the hand.

Said

From the people who shipped them

Robin measured every competitor before drawing a line, and the first prototype was the one we tooled. The fillet on the Halo is the reason people pick it up in the shop.

— Maren Solberg, Head of product, Norrsken Audio

The routing sheet on the wall is not decoration. Every week of the Ridge went exactly where the sheet said it would.

— Lukas Brenner, Managing director, Brenner Werkzeug
