Kunsttof by Studio Manon Garritsen

As a hummingbird, I love to cross-pollinate design skills and collaborate with a wide range of passionate and conscious people and companies. In the past 20 years, I have been following my curiosity and worked as Urban Designer, Product Designer, studied Fashion Design and founded my own company and online store. It became clear to me that there has always been a constant: my love for textile, texture, simplicity, sustainable living and drawing.

Now I feel comfortable to say that I am an artist and freelance designer, who takes on design assignments that inspire me and allow me to collaborate with open-minded, conscious people. I work as an artist (wall art), but I take on collaborations as an illustrator, surface pattern or urban designer.  And the list can be longer if nice opportunities pop up.

Manon: “My love for fabrics, design and architecture come together in Kunsttof. With my art I seek to create the perfect balance between simplicity and warmth.”

Newspapers and magazines that have featured my work: Scandinavian Living, VT Wonen, Design Milk, Western Living, Elle Decoration, Flow Magazine, Bright, Eigen Huis & Interieur, and Dutch newspapers like NRC Next, De Volkskrant, Het Algemeen Dagblad, Telegraaf.
