ARC17 Meubel: 24mm - Arend Groosman

24mm: met één systeem alles bouwen Sinds 2004 werkt Arend Groosman aan een ruimtelijke transformeerbare wereld. Na lang onderzoek heeft hij een voor hem ultiem bouwsysteem ontwikkeld, genaamd 24mm. Lampen, meubels, ruimtelijke constructies en zelfs hele ruimtes kunnen worden opgebouwd met dit systeem dat bestaat uit bouwstenen met de maatvoering waar het zijn naam aan verdient: 24mm.

In the past ten years as an artist and designer, I have been immersed in an ongoing research into mobile and flexible construction systems with which I can experiment and realise my designs in a fast and efficiënt way. This quest has resulted in the creation of my ultimate construction system: 24mm. 24mm is a modular system which makes it possible to build constructions that are utilizable in many different ways: experimental, architectural or interior objects, sculptures, but also spatial constructions.

An important guideline while developing my system has been my search into transformable, mobile architecture. Because the objects made with the 24mm system can be assembled and disassembled again, it is possible to create objects rapidly and quickly carry out new ideas. In this way objects can be constantly changed or merged, the material is easily reusable and everything can be transported efficiently.

By using a combination of both the functional and the playful, I want to refer to a future in which our world is constantly adapting to the imagination.
