Peter van de Water: Recognizable and Iconic Tables

For Peter van de Water, a fantastic dutch designer, designing is a constant learning process, with every step the foundation gets stronger. This growth is visible in his work, starting his career with clean minimalistic designs evolving to more detailed and sculptural shapes in recent years.

Van de Water has a real passion for making scale models, sketches, renderings and prototypes. His work is based in Amsterdam, in his beloved neighborhood Oud-west in. Come with us on this journey and meet some of the designer’s work as well as his modern tables collection.

All designs made by Peter van de Water are based on a single strong idea. These ideas are made into a recognizable, sometimes iconic design. The road from this idea to the final product is looking for that perfect combination of aesthetics, function & construction, all in close collaboration with his valued clients. Designs should be contemporary, but also need to have a timeless quality.

With every new design, the goal is to design a product that will last. There is no guarantee for a design, becoming a classic. But they should last for many years in production, construction and also in appearance.

Making it a more durable product. In the near future, he sees sustainability as the biggest challenge and obligation for the furniture industry.

His mantra is to keep focussing on what he can do, instead of on what he can’t do. Be progressive, be opportunistic, but most important, act.

Peter van de Water believes its crucial to keep on addressing, designing and producing more and more sustainable, and make this the “The new normal”. It is simply a new requirement besides, aesthetics, function & construction.
