Bas Kosters Studio

Bas Kosters is an Amsterdam artist and designer working mainly in textile: patchwork tapestries, soft sculptures, costumes and ceramics. Radiant, alarming and endearing figures carry his social engagement, with subtle humour and his trademark texts.

He graduated from the Fashion Institute Arnhem in 2003, winning the Robijn Fashion Award, and showed collections at Amsterdam and London Fashion Week until 2014, ending with ‘Dear Sir/Madam: Hope’. The studio on NDSM Plein now works across art, fashion, illustration and performance, with queer perspectives, self-love and attention to materials at the centre.
