About Studio Bas Sala

Studio Bas Sala is an interdisciplinary design studio in Rotterdam. We design and realize innovative projects in public space, IOT products and interiors. Interactivity and design research play an important role in our work.

Our designs invite people to sit, play, think, do nothing and often evoke smiles. Interdisciplinary cooperation (with professionals and non-professionals) and high-quality products play a central role in our work. Many of our projects initiated itself and not only focused on the physical appearance, but also the way they are used and how they can be anything other than financial gain.
