As a designer, he sees future potential in the joined cooperative forces combining technology with natural phenomena. "It is my believe that developing new "tools" is an important means of inspiring and allowing new forms to take shape," van de Wiel says. "As a designer I only create some circumstances and the magnetic power creates the shape of the objects."
Jólan van der Wiel, 26 years, graduated last July at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie / DesignLab in Amsterdam. Gravity Stool was his thesis project.
