amsterdam
ralph + lonneke
ralph nauta and lonneke gordijn met during their studies at the design academy eindhoven. first they fell in love and then they started their studio in 2006: both worked out well for them. the design duo call themselves drift, definitely by name and not by nature, you can see a clear authentic line in their work.
at the end of last year they left eindhoven for a new life in amsterdam. eindhoven for them had limited possibilities. now they have a new studio, formerly an old chip shop, that was beautifully refurbished into a bright and wide open studio.
when you enter the drift design website you find a world of lighting compounded with technology and nature. jerry goldsmith’s theme for basic Instinct supports the drift design fantasy in the background. an enduring song meets design on the same level
