​

Born in 1995, Rik grew up in Leende, a small village whre he spend his childhood. As a child he always wanted to work with his hands. This lead to the four year design study at Sintlucas in Boxtel. These years he defined his way into product design. In the fourth year of his study he started with four friends a design company called; Luxio. In the period of 2015-2016 they were honored with the second place in the national Young Company Competition of the year. After his study at Sintlucas he went to higher art school; Willem de Kooning in Rotterdam where he can still improve his ambition and passion for design.

"The solid collaborations with brands and labels are key for the designs we create."
