The Moooi Team is truly sorry to hear of the loss of Raimond Puts.
Raimond will always be remembered by Moooi as "The man who brought the starry sky into our homes".
If there is any kind of thread that runs through the life of Raimond Puts (1937 - 2012), then it must be that of technical engineering. The machine designer who later came to be developed this talent already at a very young age, when he was playing around with his Meccano toy box. Technical science has fascinated him ever since. During his technical education he was trained in the art of goldsmithing and because of this a new world opened up to him.
About thirty years ago the construction of models began from cheap materials such as iron strip, mosquito nets and paper. He was drawn to the challenges of making various geometric types and patterns. Over the years he has experimented with all kinds of shapes and materials. He searches for solutions to the practical problems he encounters with angelic patience and determination. Over the years their constructions have become more refined and by making use of the LED technique, Raimond has found an extremely productive combination. In his work he sought the ideal integration of beauty and functionality. In his designs he always looked for the essence and creates from the minimum means, maximum results.
He was not only interested in outward results. His objects stand out as models for a world where everything is connected to everything else. Everything fits perfectly. This conceptual simplicity inspired him to continue the search for new constructions. In them, peace and continuous surprises were found.
In 2010 Raimond Pone won the Best Woonproduct of 2010 Award (Sanoma Woon Awards) with Raimond Light.
