Eline van Dijkman is a Dutch designer, born and raised in France, who graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2023. She is interested in the relationship between design and materials.

“As a product designer, I am more and more interested in working with new materials and see what their potential could be in the world of design. It all started when I decided to create a bio-material with the waste created during the wine making process on my parents’ winery I grew up op in the South of France.”
