The Genius Aldo Bakker

I believe most of you already know Droog, a furniture brand in Amsterdam. Droog has been glorified in design world for its innovative adventures. Now the son of founder Gijs Bakker is stealing the throne with his conceptual work. 

Aldo Bakker is just like his father and mother (jewelry designer Emmy van Leersum), a conceptual designer.The whole family seems to have a strong common believe that physical objects possess and evoke emotions in the user. They even say that it works in the same way as music, film and art.

Aldo's specialty? Coming up with ways to provoke the meaning and function of furniture!
