Rotganzen expands Quelle Fête series for Kelly Wearstler with new limited-edition release

Rotganzen is a Netherlands-based art collective, composed of Joeri Horstink, Erik Schilp, and Robin Stam. The collective launched their first U.S. collaboration in Winter 2021, debuting five limited-edition works from their Quelle Fête series via. Kelly Wearstler’s online Gallery - a curated e-commerce platform that features commissions from emerging global designers and artists.
​​
​Inspired by the city of Los Angeles, the Quelle Fête collection offers a new interpretation of the iconic disco ball shape, a playful representation of past glory and a melancholic reminder of the glamour nights of disco. The amorphous characters are covered, through painstaking handwork, with a carefully arranged glittering skin of mirrored glass tiles.

The Quelle Fête Malibu is inspired by the majestic Pacific Coast, a paradise of rolling, thunderous waves. Rotganzen have reflected this by designing and creating the first Quelle Fête with a swirl, resembling an incoming wave. Meticulously crafted in the Rotganzen studio, each piece of this limited-edition release is as unique as the waves of the Pacific Ocean.

“I’m so excited to once again work with the Rotganzen team to introduce a new addition to the Quelle Fête series, after such a successful launch last year. While our first collection was inspired by LA, the new Malibu piece pays homage to the Pacific Ocean and its powerful rolling waves. I’ve always felt a deep personal connection to nature and the sea, so I love that this particular design incorporates some of the majestic elements indicative of California’s innate coastal beauty." - Kelly Wearstler 

The collection will be available exclusively at www.kellywearstler.com/rotganzen.

​ABOUT ROTGANZEN: Rotganzen (2009) is a Dutch art collective in the tradition of American Pop Art and the Italian Radical Design movement. Rotganzen bridges art and design, and finds inspiration in daily life and popular culture. By changing the appearance and context of everyday objects and products, they create work full of contrast and surprise, visually as well as conceptually. Their intricate use of colour and choice of materials stand in clear contrast with the simplicity of their design language. Rotganzen’s Quelle Fête (2011) has become one of the most iconic and coveted design series worldwide. Their Bouncy (2018) and Funnel (2019), as well as their Quintessential series of bar furniture (2020) and STRAW light sculptures (2021) are being publicly and privately displayed and collected.}
