Tjimkje is an interior- & product designer. Inspiration for new products often originates from day to day scenes. While traveling, photography is the obvious and most important tool to capture these moments. Pictures enable you to relive them in a very detailed manner, they function as trigger point, in the beginning often nothing more than a visual ‘note to self’. However seemingly meaningless, by tilting the reality or twisting the context just a little … The common becomes uncommon, Asian mountain tops become monumental lighting objects, buttons are transformed into a chair, and a classic painting was inspiration for the picturesque mirrors. Exactly these twists are characteristic for Tjimkje’s work.

Sarah Trenité

When Sarah in 1997 wanted a table who did not exist. She decided to design it herself. Beautiful, simple but with a whole new construction. After designing some series by following the principle ‘form and shape will follow construction’, in 2004 the Longlegs oval table was born. A quirky, friendly table and because of the special cross table leg you can sit around very comfortable. This was the breakthrough of Arp design in Holland. Nowadays Arp is continually re-inventing and innovating to new designs and improvements in a way Sarah likes.
