Designer and artist Pascal Smelik was born in 1983 in Oegstgeest, The Netherlands. He studied Product Design at the Utrecht School of the Arts and founded his studio in 2010
Smelik’s exploratory work aims to expand the contemporary notion of design. His objects are characterized by his fascination for the growth, distortion and fusion of natural phenomena and their processes.
Navigating between art and design, his processes lead to peculiar design methods. By combining this expressive potential with both traditional and modern production techniques, Smelik generates work that recalls nature and growth in the abstract.
His works, collectible and unique pieces, have been featured in galleries and exhibited at leading international design fairs around the world.
The studio of Pascal Smelik mainly works with small series’, limited editions and site or context specific commissions.
