Studio Loop Loop

Studio LoopLoop is a research-driven studio based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Founded by Odin Visser and Charles Gateau, the studio focuses on developing sustainable materials and innovative production techniques. Within their workshop, they reimagine industrial manufacturing processes on a micro scale. All production techniques are developed in-house as part of an ongoing material and process research, and are directly used by the designers themselves to create each piece. Their exploration of aluminum led to the discovery of a method to permanently dye the metal using plants. The resulting works embody the intersection of art and industry, with delicate natural patterns and colors — both meticulously applied by hand — contrasting with the hard, technical materiality of aluminum.
