EDITH VAN BERKEL

About

I am an industrial designer. Textiles are my thing: they bring me joy. Over the years I have designed rugs, fabrics, colours and installations. I have worked in collaboration and on my own. My design practice has taken me worldwide to places. My experience over the years is in both industrial processes and in free-hand one-off environments. Traveling to work directly with artisans fuels my inspiration. The value of the process is always foremost in my product and taken by heart. Researching materials, colours and tactility is fundamental. Intuition is key. I never hesitate to pause for process.
