Rop van Mierlo x Pool Board Series
Rop van Mierlo
Info: Rop van Mierlo (*1980) is a Dutch artist and designer who graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven. He gained international recognition with his picture book Wild Animals, which won the Dutch Design Award. A key element of his work is his distinctive wet-on-wet painting technique, in which colors flow freely across the paper. This approach allows him to create animal portraits that resist control – a playful yet deliberate reflection on humanity’s urge to dominate nature. His books are available at MoMA in New York, the Design Museum in London, and Do You Read Me!? in Berlin. Van Mierlo has collaborated with international brands such as Hermès, Marni, Moncler, H&M, Sandro Paris, Maison Kitsuné, A24, Stockmar, Head Porter, and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Since 2020, he has been developing a wide range of products under his Wild Animals label – from prints and textiles to home accessories. He lives and works in Amsterdam. Location: Pool Board Series, Lindenstr. 77, 47798 Krefeld.

She has collaborated with several brands and institutions (Hermes, Maison Martin Margiela, Schauspielhaus Zurich, Zeit Magazin, M le Monde, World of Interiors, Modern Dance Theater Stockholm, Locarno Film Festival, Théâtre Sevelin 36, ARKET).
