Tim Teven
Tim Teven (1993) is a dutch designer, he graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven.
His technical and material-driven approach to design, together with hands-on way of working allows him to play and create in an experimental way. In many works, the production process is used as a tool to design and a leading aspect to shape the final outcome and function of the object.
Treating materials in an unconventional way to rethink the process of making, allows him to find surprising techniques which then can be translated into a functional yet interesting object. Teven works from his design studio based in Eindhoven founded in 2018, where all the objects are hand-made with industrial craftsmanship.

The pieces are pressed and folded into shape. These two simple mechanical actions create a unique shape and turn the ordinary piece of steel tube into a usable object. The shape literally appears by following the process, and is a result of multiple playful experiments in the studio.

The Pressure Vases are made from standard steel tubes, which when exposed to extreme pressure start to yield. The folds that appear make the normally hard and cold material look soft and tangible. Usually this deformation is considered to be a defect by the industry. Since the folds clamp in the bottom of the pressure vase, de deformation became a functional detail.
The stainless steel floor vases are made form scrapyard sourced material, as part of a new upcoming“scrapyard”series. A series with all objects made from materials sourced from local scrapyards. Since the pandemic the prices and availability of steel and aluminum has been extremely effected. Therefore we are shifting our focus on using locally sourced scrap material.
