PR & Social Media
A couple of years ago I started collecting Dutch Design online. After a few months, I decided to share my collection on Instagram. Creating a stage for Dutch Design including my own work on my account @wisse_design. Over time I learned how to increase my reach and how to speed up the growth of my account with targetted followers.
Nowadays I offer PR and Social Media related services. This is ranging from a masterclass in which I share my experience and insights to active support with press releases and social media management.
If you are interested to hear more about these services give me a call at +31 6 49258755 or send me an email hi@wissetrooster.nl

Dutch design inspiration: Klaar glass table by Studio Truly Truly
“The glass occasional table, Klaar, is a collaboration between Leolux, designers Studio Truly Truly and the Dutch Glass Museum in Leerdam. Every table is an object in itself as each table is actually blown by hand. The colour schemes are fixed but the patina of the colours is unique for each table.
Leolux requested the Dutch Glass Museum in Leerdam to have its specialists hand blow the ‘Klaar’ glass tables. This combines knowledge of glass art and the centuries-old traditions of glassblowing and polishing. As enthusiasts of traditional production techniques, Studio Truly Truly chose to collaborate with this museum, where creativity and many years’ experience produce the most beautiful products.” www.leolux.com

Bloom outdoor lounge chair by Peter van de Water for Banne.
“A Guiltless Plastic Award 2020 finalist, Bloom turns waste into something beautiful. The stools are created from Low-Density PolyEthylene (LDPE) – a plastic that can be infinitely melted down and reused, yet withstands temperatures from -10°C to +50°C.
The black version is made of 100% recycled waste from the car industry. The multicoloured version is created from recycled bottle caps. And the white version uses a mix of 50-70% recycled consumer waste.
Bloom’s design is surprisingly versatile – striking, yet at home in any environment. It features a concealed rain water drain, so you’ll always have a dry seat. Or you can windproof it by filling it with a few kilos of sand. A choice of fabric covers make it perfect for use indoors.“ www.banne.com

Elevation Lamp by Alexander Schul
“Light is a simply adjustable medium, which strongly affects the appearance of a space. In times of covid19 we spend more time in our private interiors, therefore I was interested in investigating light as a medium to bring change into our homes. The “Elevation Lamp“ enables you to set different light atmospheres. From direct, indirect, to decorative light.” Alexander Schul

‘Halo’ from the Lamina Light sculpture series by Studio Tijs Gilde for for Transnatural art & design.
“The new Lamina Light sculptures reveal a unique experience through distributing light between layered structures. The light sculpture creates fluctuating color patterns within its transparent slats. Various patterns are available for one light module.
Lamina explores new possibilities for more efficient production and recycling techniques. The product inherits a circular design strategy through its ability to disassemble and reuse its parts at the end of its life cycle.” www.transnaturallabel.com

Atmos by Fleur Peeters, spotted on the Design Community of Isola Design District. An adaptable light collection that lets you manually change the color temperature of the light to match it with the time of day.
“Nowadays many people have irregular working hours, they get home late or work in night shifts. This group doesn’t always experience the right amount of sunlight. People who are sensitive to a lack of sunlight may notice a bad mood or are less active.
Atmos light can help you with that problem. Our brain recognises the blue light as daylight and activates the cortisol hormone that provides our alertness and energy-level. Red light is linked to the sunset, our brain knows that the night falls and the melatonin hormone is stimulated that helps us to relax. Atmos Light projects the colours on the wall. By moving the lamp horizontally or vertically, you can change the hue of the light from red to blue.” isoladd.co/Studio-Fleur-Peters

Electric Life by Teresa van Donge, spotted at Transnatural art & design.
“In the muddy soil of rivers and lakes one can find micro-organisms that continuously excrete electrons in their metabolism. Teresa van Dongen explores these specific bacteria as a means to generate electricity for domestic use. Electric Life is the latest translation in Dongen’s ongoing exploration for alternative and natural sources of energy and light. The light installation is entirely powered by micro-organisms that have electrons as a waste product. A future owner of this living light installation will have to feed and nurture it; a bit of tapwater with some additional nutrients and a teaspoon of vinegar a week will do. Van Dongen imagines that having to feed and thus take care of Electric Life, could result in a closer relationship between the light installation and its owner.” www.teresavandongen.com

My Hands of Time clock.
The clock tells the story of its own making while standing as a monument to the modern preservation of handicraft. The clock face is made of sanding discs used at workshops of designers and craftsmen. The patterns tell the story of time, the materials used and the work done. Presented in 2016 at Piet Hein Eek during Dutch Design Week and in 2017 at gallery Rossana Orlandi. Read more via the link in bio.

A handmade handheld vacuum cleaner, an orange juicer, and a mixer in marble from the Forever series by Casper Braat.
“Consumer society’s value for convenience has created a great availability of goods intended to make life easier. Home appliances are one such example. Due to global demand and copy culture, these machines suffer from standardized aesthetics and cheap mechanics. The short life span of these devices will ultimately land them in the trash, replaced by a near-exact copy. Home appliances are a testament to wanton consumption in contemporary times, a beautifully perverse culture that values the indulgence of the current moment despite the inevitable consequences to come.
Casper Braat presents Forever, an ongoing sculpture series that strips home appliances of function, encapsulating these throwaway practical devices forever in stone. Sculpted in marble and gold, Casper elevates throwaway culture to monumental permanence, a celebration of today that will last forever.” www.casperbraat.com

Align by Antje Pesel for Vij5
“Align is a minimalist lamp whose design is based on a simple metal hemisphere. The simplicity of the lamp is reflected in both shape and function.
The lamp can be used in different ways, because the electrical and suspension cable are separated. The lamp has a remarkable way of hanging because the lampshade is held by a small magnet which allows the lamp to turn towards each direction. Through this the light source can be perfectly positioned.
In addition, the set also includes a small silicone base, in which the lampshade can rest and also be placed in all directions. Because of its flexible functionality, Align functions like a hanging lamp above the table, in a free space or as a reading lamp next to the sofa. Using the silicone foot, the lamp transforms into a beautiful table light.” www.vij5.nl
