Erwin Zwiers

Nationality
New Zealand
Occupation
Designer

Erwin Zwiers is a creator by nature. His paintings and constructions created as kid were an expression of his never-ending curiosity already. Erwin is fascinated by materials with a strong character and draws inspiration from their properties. This exploration of materials in his own experimental way leads to ideas that are often the start of new products and objects. To gain knowledge about materials and production techniques, he took training courses to become a furniture designer at HMC Amsterdam from 2001 to 2005. His eagerness for more depth in design wasn’t tempered. So he continued studying Product Design at HKU Higher School of the Arts in Utrecht from 2005 to 2009. There he further developed his own methods and style. After his studies he started Studio Erwin Zwiers to continue creating beautiful products and objects. His highly-praised graduation project led to many national and international exhibits. His new collection Twisted was also successfully received by the press and architects. That collection led to other collaborations, including a presentation at Salone Del Mobile 2012 in Milan with the renowned Italian furniture brand Poliform. Today, Studio Erwin Zwiers has an independent collection of products that are produced in his own workshop. Quality and flexibility are guaranteed. Erwin Zwiers is also the co-founder of Proplamp!
