Roos Meerman researches techniques and processes, using her design mentality to innovate and pioneer. By altering existing machines or tools, she finds new ways to translate her amazement for nature and physics into something tangible. The outcome is used as a way to talk about advancement in technology and as a conversation starter for crossover collaborations with scientists and industrial partners. With a special interest in 3D printing, Meerman explores the potential of this game-changing technique in multiple projects, challenging the boundaries and applicabilities of both material and mechanics.
Studio Roos Meerman won the Hendrik Valkprize and New Material Fellow in 2014, as well as the Design & Innovation prize of Gelderland and the Bio Art & Design Award in 2016. Her work has been extensively exhibited throughout Europe.
