VanPetnaarPret & Signify
The collaboration between Signify and VanPetnaarPret demonstrates how connection and co-creation between a large and small company can lead to a massive impact. Both companies share the same mission: a sustainable future. By joining forces, they strengthen each other and deliver a powerful message.
Rolph Adriaansen, born in Woensdrecht, began his career as a business economist and made the leap to entrepreneurship in 2016 with VanPetnaarPret. This creative initiative was launched to teach children about recycling and the importance of sustainability in a playful way, through non-refundable PET bottles. The project grew into a success, culminating in the unveiling of ChandelierØ13 at the LocHal. Although Adriaansen does not see himself as an artist, but rather as an entrepreneur who tells stories and connects people, his work is a beautiful blend of art and innovation.
Signify, as the world’s leading lighting company, has always been a pioneer in innovation and sustainability. They strive to push the boundaries of technology and sustainability, as shown by their circular and 3D-printed lighting designs, and their LiFi technology, which uses light to provide internet connections. Their collaboration with VanPetnaarPret is an example of how large and small companies can come together to create innovations that inspire people. Through joint light art projects, they showcase the power of recycling and sustainability, and demonstrate how technology and creativity can light up the future.
