DESIGN.
CONCEPTS
Developed from my vision, the synergy between the components of the overall concept supports in a powerful way the solution.
PRODUCTS
From my experience and knowledge of materials I use the core values and purity of resources which I translate back into sustainable product features.
INTERIORS
From my empathy, I create an environment for total experience in which all senses are stimulated, people feel at ease and the perception is influenced in a positive way.
about me.
Roland Pieter Smit is a designer with a clear mission to put needs, desires and human well-being at the centre of all he does.
It means, designing concepts and products people feel comfortable with, support the actions in daily life and strengthen human behavior.
​
It also means insight into the various stages and places in the production chain, and strive to maintain or restore the valuable traditional processes.
The starting point of his thinking is always the question of how and why his work can improve the reality of life.

 WOLWAEREN TXWith Wolwaeren, a series of seven blankets made by people with a mental or physical impairment, Roland Pieter Smit designed looms that, among other things, reflect the psychological and physical possibilities of the operators. For example, autistic people can work with very thin yarn, while those with Downs Syndrome prefer to work with thicker yarn. The yarn is made from wool from the island of Texel, once lucrative but now almost worthless. And by offering sheep farmers an honest price. |  WOLWAEREN TXWith Wolwaeren, a series of seven blankets made by people with a mental or physical impairment, Roland Pieter Smit designed looms that, among other things, reflect the psychological and physical possibilities of the operators.

For the production, native wood is used, often from decades old trees felled by natural disasters or, for whatever reason, had to give way. This often iconic trees are so saved from the stove or chipper and can, in a sustainable way, renew their lives as iconic object in your home. Houtwaeren objects are uniquely designed in workshops by people with a distance to the labor market. |  Crevette GrizeStyling & Photography. |
