Simone Post

Simone Post is a Dutch visual artist and designer born in 1990 and based in Rotterdam, whose work begins with materials already on their way out — marshmallows, textile waste, things that have lived a previous life. She graduated with honours from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2015 and works almost entirely with soft matter, turning it into sculptural pieces that ask to be looked at twice.

Textiles run through her practice, a language she picked up as a child while her mother taught sewing classes at home. Post has designed collections with Cor Unum, created shop windows for Hermès in Ginza and shows with Envisions, the Eindhoven design lab she is part of. Her work sits between art, craft and industry and returns repeatedly to the idea that nothing holds still, and that this is what makes it precious.
