Beekum, Radboud van
Radboud van Beekum (Rijswijk The Netherlands, 1950) graduated in architectural design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam in 1977, he focused on furniture. During this period he designed the cube chair, in production by Pastoe from 1981. A re-designed model of this design classic was introduced in 2000. Joining the 3-D team of the renown studio of Total Design in Amsterdam, the team designed the counters for post offices in the Netherlands, awarded with the Kho Liang Ie Prize 1991 for industrial design. For institutions like the Rijksmuseum and the Royal Palace in Amsterdam exhibitions were made, partly temporary, partly permanent. Other public spaces like theatre interiors or fair stands were designed as well. After lecturing during several years at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, he turned towards research and writing. In 2003 an exhibition was made and a book written on the work of Amsterdam School architect B.T. Boeyinga (1886-1969).
