We visited Saber, a friend of Niels, who is a multidisciplinary artist. He mainly focuses on letters, and creates stunning, colourful works. Saber has a studio in Den Haag, where he wanted to display and sell a few additional artworks of other designers, so we dropped of some of Niels his works.
It was inspiring and fun to see Saber himself, the space and his works. Materials like paint, cutting tools and rulers were arranged neatly all around the studio. Together with pieces of wood Saber found whilst strolling through the city – he likes to collect and cut wood. Making it into furniture. He is very dedicated towards his creations, working on them for 12 to 19 hours a day. His process has many layers, steps and is preformed by hand, so human error occurs. But he keeps going and going, until the work is perfect.
