The sophisticated Meshmatics Chandelier is now available in two sizes. The Meshmatics Chandelier Small is made from the same material and in the same way as its elegant big brother, of humble wire netting and with a machine that, with a set of tools, models it with perfect accuracy.

"Where we are able to merge engineering with elegance, there will arise a pure form of aesthetics."
Rick Tegelaar (Rotterdam, 1986) graduated with honours from the ArtEZ Arnhem product design department in 2011. Since then he works independently from his studio and workshop in Arnhem.
As a material-oriented designer, Rick’s work is characterized by the use of very uncommon materials, finding new beautifully shaped forms with an innovative approach.
Rick is interested in machinery and mechanical processes since childhood. This fascination for engineering, combined with his delicate sense of esthetics, are reflected in his designs, which shed a new light on undervalued materials and existing techniques.
