Arnout Meijer tells us what sparks his imagination
Looking Up
It should come as no surprise that Rotterdam native Arnout Meijer looks to the stars for motivation. The breakout designer has made a name for himself in the past year with innovative, color-changing, LED-loving light sculptures like Thanks for the Planets and Thanks for the Sun, which pay homage to celestial bodies.
When asked where his go-to, local spot for creative stimulation is, Meijer tells us: "My most favorite structure in Rotterdam is the Erasmusbrug, the bridge that connects the south and the north of the city. But as inspiration, I prefer the sky, especially above the harbors of Rotterdam, which you can see quite clearly from the Erasmusbrug. I always think that the sky becomes more colorful because of the chemicals in the harbor, but maybe that's just my imagination."
Thanks for sharing, Arnout!
