The fact that How dare you make me feel this way won gold is a great honour and appreciation in particular. With great confidence from the museum, I was able to create a distinct design together with Studio met met. For this to be recognised at an international level is fantastic."
Studio met met
Arnhem-based Studio met met consists of Lennart Bras (1992) and Casper Notenboom (1984), who studied together at Product Design at ArtEZ.
