Marcel Wanders, one of the most recognized designers of recent decades, is looking back at the last 25 years of his design career. He made his international breakthrough in 1996 with the Knotted Chair, a combination of hight-tech material with a low-tech macramé technique. Wanders began his his career by joining the Dutch avant-garde Droog Design Platform but soon found his own broader audience base in the international design scene. Now Marcel is one of the founders and art director of the successful interior design label Moooi. "Marcel Wanders: Pinned Up at the Stedelijk 25 Years of Design" show continues until June 15th, 2014.
