The Trend Boutique really love the work of Studio Sjoerd Jonkers who is one of the latest in a long tradition of amazingly talented Dutch designers & artists. Blending new technologies with primitive production methods this recent graduate aims to create exciting new designs, and we definitely think he has having featured his 'Neolastic Vases & Tableware' in our 'rurban' trend direction for Autumn Winter 2011-12. His latest designs have an artisan feel through the high level of craftsmanship & work that goes into each carpet.
