Studio Stallinga BV is an internationally acclaimed Industrial Design firm in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Founded in 1993 by Gerrit Rietveld Academy graduate Henk Stallinga and co-owned by managing director Annemarie Galani. The Studio Stallinga team works on a broad variety of projects ranging from lighting to clocks, technical appliances to outdoor furniture, home accessories to public spaces.
The Studio's work forms a balance between product functionality and imagination. The works invite the user to reconsider the industrial product and to challenge what people are accustomed to. By focusing on associations and combining material, form and technique we formulate new meaning to the product user experience, as "Clojo" and "The taste of talking".
The work of Stallinga is internationally recognised and is found in the permanent collections of museums worldwide such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
Two identical parts which when joined together create a lamp. For a permanent exhibition in the Garden café of the Museum of Modern Art New York, four groups of 25 blister lamps were stringed together to create chandeliers across the ceiling.
