Roderick Vos designs objects that feel easy to live with: a chair you don’t have to think about, a vase that’s more shape than statement. After Design Academy Eindhoven, he worked with Ingo Maurer in Munich and Kenji Ekuan in Tokyo—two places where hands-on testing matters more than sketches. He still works that way: first clay, foam, or cardboard on the workbench, then metal presses or CNC once the form makes sense. Vos spent the 1990s running a studio in Indonesia; since 2005 he and partner Claire Vos have shaped lighting, seating, and accessories for brands like Alessi, Moooi, Leolux, and Linteloo. Pieces such as the Tubes vase series or the LX675 sofa system show his two rules: keep it comfortable, keep it light-hearted. Since 2016 the duo has also set the visual tone for Dutch brand Pode. Vos sums up his goal this way: if a design still calls attention to itself after a week in someone’s home, it isn’t finished.
