Maartje Dros

Eric Klarenbeek and Maartje Dros have collaborated on R&D and design projects since 2014, striving for the creation of new local economies and production chains, material development, and durable design objects. For their projects, they connect universities and high-tech companies, as well as farmers and local producers. At Atelier LUMA, Eric Klarenbeek and Maartje Dros set up the Algae Lab and worked on the development of biopolymers from local sources, resulting in algae-based products that integrate durable and sustainable production methods.
