About
Catherine v. Bijnen is a transformative designer who focuses on turning big conceptual ideas into comprehensible objects. Operating on the balance between art and design. Interactions between concepts such as structure/ chaos, the intelligence of nature and sensorial-experiences are central to her work. She practices a fluid design method with combined research and an experimental approach. Creating from out of this framework allows her to expands beyond the limits of the making process
