Studio Kalff

Designer Roos Kalff has developed a captivating aesthetic idiom that bridges past and present, echoing historical designs in contemporary pieces which are alike functional and sustainable. 

New work from her glassware series uses vintage glassware as the material basis to create lighting and table pieces, subtly manipulating the form and function of the original objects. All the glassware is handmade and each piece is unique, composed of individually selected items combining existing glassware with ceramic elements of cast glass. 

Since graduating in architectural design at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam in 2009 and founding Studio Kalff, designer Roos Kalff has produced a steady body of acclaimed work that has not only been recognized for its aesthetic value but has also found its functionality in classic and modern interiors all over the world. 

In 2013 the silicon table cloth ‘Table Skin’ was commissioned by Droog Design and The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and in 2018 it was added to the permanent collection of the Centraal Museum in Utrecht. In 2018 Roos Kalff was also selected to show her work at the retrospective exhibition at the 50th anniversary of the Rietveld Academy.
