Discover the possibilities of upcycling at this workshop by Tolhuijs Design!Â
The workshop begins with a presentation on the work of Tolhuijs Design. Here you will discover how they transform waste materials into unique and high-quality design products. You will see examples of their work and gain insight into their creative process, a great source of inspiration before you get to work yourself.
Bastiaan and his team then show several lamps you can make during the workshop. They share the stories behind the waste materials used, explain what they normally do with these materials and how they are transformed into stylish lamps in the workshop. You have several options to choose from:
- An elegant bottle lamp, where you "pop" glass using fire and cold water
- The innovative lamp Hook'd, made from old suspension hooks, where you will learn 3D printing and modeling
- The atmospheric lamp Spool, created from an old reel, with a machine made by Tolhuijs' himself
Or do you go for your own design? Joris and Bastiaan would love to help you bring your idea to life!
Participants get the chance to get to work themselves under the guidance of experts like Joris and Bastiaan. They learn about different techniques, from electrical assembly to 3D assembly, and experience how satisfying it is to create something with their own hands. Each item made is not just a lamp, but a story of transformation and creativity.Join Tolhuijs Design's upcycling workshop, where you will learn how to make beautiful design objects from everyday waste. Go home with your own handmade lamp and a head full of inspiration!

Have you ever thought that waste can be the beginning of something beautiful? Meet Bastiaan and Joris Tolhuijs.
At Tolhuijs, they believe in the power of inspiration. A thread every day makes a shirt in a year. With this philosophy they want to show that small steps can lead to big changes. Their workshops are not just lessons in upcycling; they are a journey of discovery where you learn to look at the world with new eyes. Who knows, maybe soon you too will inspire others to make the world a little better.
Tolhuijs' workshops are a unique opportunity to engage directly with real upcycling experts. It's an experience that goes beyond learning a skill; it's a chance to be part of a movement to change the world, one reused item at a time.
