More than a designer, Willem Schouten is a multidisciplinary maker who seeks to create objects that stand the test of time. His practice is guided by the pursuit of meaningful design, shaped through experimentation and driven by the desire to blend art, craftsmanship and functional simplicity. The Kocohedron collection exemplifies this philosophy, integrating light sources into open aluminium frames to preserve natural light during the day and generate intricate shadows at night. With finishes ranging from gold to copper, chrome and custom tones, the series reflects his attention to material nuance and sensory experience.

Presented at Masterly during Milan Design Week, the collection highlights Schouten’s ability to create pieces that are sculptural yet practical, expressive yet minimal. His studio continues to expand through collaborations, new materials and refined techniques, reinforcing his presence within contemporary collectible design. Each object reflects a thoughtful approach to how form, function and emotion can converge into a cohesive and enduring design language.
