Joost van Bleiswijk

The elaborate, often iconic, objects of Dutchman Joost van Bleiswijk are assembled without glue or screws: urns, bookcases, hourglasses, grandfather clocks, among them. “They’re often big, very beautiful, and functional,” says Moss of the pieces. And they often hark back to another era. “I’d rather design wine decanters or chess boards than mobile phones,” van Bleiswijk says.
