Dirk van der Kooij, 2013 Recycled plastic, aluminium fixtures, LED lighting The Fresnel divides and scatters light through the hills and valleys of low-resolution 3D printing. As if ripples in water, the concentric design sees glittering bands pulsate outwards from a central, steel droplet. Hot ribbons of recycled plastic build the lens slowly, layer by layer. Sourced from rooftop windows, safety glasses, and industrial chocolate moulds, this unlikely source material gifts durability and glasslike transparency to the Fresnel. With an all-round lighting effect, there is truly no incorrect angle from which to view the lamp. The Fresnel is equipped for dimming with an external MAINS dimmer (TRIAC) and 0-10V. Due to its recycled nature, the plastic Fresnel shell may take on a subtle warm or grey tint.

The disc are different diameters, one measuring 52cm and the other 35cm.

Seller Profile

Height: 1 cm | Width: 1 cm | Depth: 1 cm

Condition: Like New

Dirk van der Kooij was a carpenter: as a young boy, he recalls sitting in church with his attention set on the wooden pews rather than the divine. At age 12, his father had directed this interest to a local woodworker, who patiently took on her young apprentice. Dirk would sell his creations to pay for tools; a chair sold, a chair made.

​

Amsterdam's beloved Wood & Furniture School further refined his passion, but also introduced an essential conflict. At the time, commercial woodworking relied heavily on chipboard and veneer. A materialist at heart, Dirk was compelled to continue his search for abundant (yet honest) material sources.

​

It was during his time at the Design Academy Eindhoven that Dirk first began to interrogate recycled plastic. Could this waste material fulfil his yearning for a solid, expressive, sustainable alternative to wood?
