Niels Stoeltie is a Dutch designer who founded his studio in 2018. From a young age, he has been driven by a desire to create products that carry a distinct identity and tell their own story. His journey began in the world of Interaction Design, where he explored digital interfaces and user experiences. Inspired by the precision of Bauhaus and the clarity of Swiss Style, he began translating these principles into his own projects. During his studies, he discovered the possibilities of physical computing, sparking a fascination with the subtle dialogue between people, objects, and technology.

After working in several digital design studios, it became clear that his true passion lay in tangible creation objects that could be touched, shaped, and experienced firsthand. This led him to focus on interactive interior design, particularly lighting, crafting objects that engage users through the interplay of digital devices, human interaction, and physical form.

Since formal education had not provided training in artisan techniques, he taught himself the essential skills, welding, soldering, mold-making, experimenting with diverse materials, and shaping metals. Through years of trial and error, these practices were honed, cultivating a deep understanding of materials, light, and the craft of making.

Gradually, the focus shifted from complex interactive systems to the heart of design: the physical object itself. Metals, concrete, sand and synthetics are explored and combined with knowledge of electrical circuits to create handmade light objects for private and public spaces alike. His work is deeply inspired by the architecture and industry of cities, as well as the worn, lived-in objects that populate the streetscape. Each piece embodies a careful balance of form, function, and meticulous craftsmanship, translating the character of the urban environment into tangible, experiential design.

The studio approaches design with curiosity and precision, with a commitment to creating objects that are not merely seen, but truly felt and experienced.
