Interview with Gunther Pelgrims

Design for me is something in which you can generate a certain emotion in people with an object.

furniture, accessories and lighting

wood and upholstery

when I'm traveling, and during quiet times of the day.

I always try to put my focus in something recognizable, such as a structure or a pattern.

A mix from a relaxed feeling to a hunger for more.

A proud feeling.

For me a design is already successful when people start talking about it and it becomes recognizable.

The aesthetic element of the object.

For my designs this can be from objects that I encounter when I am on the road to just something that arises in my own world of thought.

I would describe my design style as rather sober but still elegant with the necessary attention to the recognition of the object.

that I would like to buy it for myself and that it can be used

creative, little technical insight and 3D drawing experience

I usually try to design in the evening, also because designing is not my main occupation at the moment. in the evening I also find all the rest that is needed to bring this to a successful conclusion

It is difficult to give a definitive answer to this. some designs take time to mature and are still regularly adjusted until they are really to my liking.
this is about designs without a time limit and without a customer. Other designs immediately come to life on the drawing board as I had it in my head for some time and usually not much changes over time

Can you tell something about your design

a collaboration with Boffi / Depadova

Boffi/Depadova

Ideally, I would like to design furniture or accessories, because this is most close to my daily work as a furniture maker.

recently i was in contact by a furniture brand to design a collection like a table and chair etc.

I develop my designs by myself
