"The narrative of my work is abstracted by the observations and interest in social constructs, inter human relations and the contradictions inhabited in the conventions we subject ourselves to."
Driven by an intuitive approach, de Regt works in a vast range of materials, exploring different techniques and mediums by constantly pushing the limits of design. From molding bio-plastic with balloons, using his hands to create ceramics to welding and cutting of metal. Rutger de Regt has collaborated with the gallery The Future Perfect in New York. His Happy Misfits Armchair is part of the Vitra Design Museum while his impose vessels reside in various private museums and in the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.
