Simone Post

Overview

 

Simone Post 

Simone Post (*1990, Utrecht, the Netherlands) is a Rotterdam-based multidisciplinary designer with a deep-rooted passion for textiles and material experimentation. A 2015 honors graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, Post has quickly established herself as a visionary in the design world, celebrated for her inventive use of color, texture, and print. Her work is characterized by a playful yet thoughtful exploration of materials, turning seemingly ordinary or discarded objects into vibrant, tactile creations that challenge the boundaries of traditional design.

 

Described as a "professional tinkerer," Post is captivated by the process of making—her creative journey is marked by continuous experimentation, where the act of discovery takes precedence over the final outcome. This philosophy has led to the creation of a diverse range of works, from pleated ceramics to ‘reupholstered’ furniture and surreal, candy-like objects that breathe life into forgotten materials. Her unique approach embodies both aesthetic beauty and deep engagement with questions of sustainability and material potential. She was Nominated for the Dutch Design Award 2022.

 

Simone has collaborated with leading global brands including Hermès, Vlisco, Kvadrat, and Adidas. Her work has been exhibited internationally, with shows spanning Europe, the United States, Brazil, China, India, and beyond.
