Studio Makkink & Bey

Designer Jurgen Bey and architect Rianne Makkink have operated Studio Makkink & Bey together in Rotterdam since 2002. The studio‘s various projects include public space projects, product design, architecture, exhibition design and applied art. Analysing the content, investigating the relationship between purpose and shape, design as a bearer of a story, and the relationship between users and objects, designer and commissioner form the basis for all the designs that leave our studio. Urban planning, architecture, landscape architecture are inextricably bound to product design. The light bulb has had an influence on architecture, the way a house is built influences its interior, a skyscraper could have never existed without the invention of the elevator.
