PLUME

PLUME is built on conformal ribbing, a technique used to design ultra-lightweight spacecraft parts that are reinforced only where it matters. Material is used only where it is needed, so each shape reads as ornament while staying purely functional. The name comes from the glowing plume of light that follows a rocket launch.

BIO

RIKFRANSJANSEN is a Netherlands-based design studio, founded in 2024, working across architecture, scenography and product design. The work is driven by obsessive research into material idiosyncrasies and production processes, resulting in a visual language that is material- and process-specific. Rooted in urban and industrial settings, it is architectural at every scale, with structural expression and tectonic detailing developed into functional ornamentation.
