Playful Dutch design of Richard Hutten
His design is very modern, playful and original. Playfulness is one of the most important aspects of his work which contributes to perception of games as part of culture. By the positioning of even just one of his luxury pieces into the interior, you elevate the entire space to a new, very positively tuned level. He is an innovator that pushes the boundaries of design further still. While this is a frequently used phrase which turned into a cliché, in the case of Richard Hutten this is in fact the truth.
Richard Hutten was born in the Netherlands in 1967 and in 1991 he graduated from the Academy of Design in Eindhoven. The same year he established his own studio in which he creates designs of interiors and luxurious residential accessories. Many of his pieces found their place in more than 40 prestigious museums around the world (such as the MoMA New York, Victoria & Albert Museum London, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Design Museum London).
The unique creations of this award-winning designer could also be seen at the Prague Designblok 2018.
