Rino Claessens (1994) is an Eindhoven-based designer. Graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven's Public & Private department, Claessens has developed a material and process-focused methodology. His creative domain is the workshop, the material experiments made here form the base of his designs. Ceramics, with its tactile qualities and boundless potential, stands as Claessens' preferred medium. Fascinated by its rich history, he seeks to breathe new life into this age-old art form by infusing it with a contemporary perspective. While ceramics remains his primary focus, Claessens also explores other materials, experimenting with cast bronze and wood carving.
