Bastiaan Luijk (1986, Sassenheim) studied architecture at TU Delft (2013). Since 2016, he has been actively using 3D printers to realize his designs. A role as a digital craftsman is beginning to grow, as described by Lucy Johnston in Digital Handmade (2017): producing individual, artisanal work that retains the soul of the material and the skill of the human hand, while also benefiting from the precision, efficiency, and increasingly limitless structural parameters of digital design and fabrication. In 2019, Bastiaan started Studio BL, and since 2021 he has been a member of Galerie Zône in Leiden, where his work is permanently displayed. He has exhibited, among other places, in Eindhoven during Dutch Design Week and at the Isola Design Gallery during Milan Design Week.
