wiel arets, architect and designer, creates sculptures for modern kitchens with practical, functional and attractive objects. this collection reflects a direct expressive design technique. arets strives for a fine balance between the parts of an object, while also searching for notable degrees of intellectual complexity. great sensitivity in the use of steel, melamine and highly inventive spirit enable the designer to catalyze powerful distillations of energy.
