Peter Donders
The work of Peter Donders is possibly the best example of how traditional craftsmanship and computer technology can work together. With a love of organic forms and a solid base in design construction and style, Peters uses the latest computer graphic technology to bring to life his ideas in 3 dimensions. From a simple set of furniture to the full 1000+ seats of a major theatre (Grace, Amsterdam) requires an exacting approach and irrefutable quality standards. Without his technological skill and eye for form the pieces Bench & Stone would have been impossible to realize. As much as computer design may speed up some of the actual design and manufacturing, creating unique furniture, for Peter Donders is still pretty much a manual labour of love.
