Zefir7 is het maandelijks ontwerperscafé bij Stroom Den Haag i.s.m. BNO Kring Groot Den Haag.

Deze keer een avond met Michiel Schuurman, een grafisch vormgever die zich toelegt op typografie en het ontwerpen van patronen en posters; en dit alles op een onverschrokken en gewaagde manier.

Michiel Schuurman (Amsterdam, 1974) graduated from the graphic design department of Amsterdam's Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2002. As a graphic artist, he specializes in typography, pattern and poster design, embracing a fearless and bold approach. After graduating, Schuurman's career took off with his remarkable poster design - challenging the medium's restrictions and communicative value.

The base of his graphic work is a certain logic - whether natural, scientific or historical - like geeky algorithms, natural phenomena or historical patterns.

With his bold and intricate graphics, often screen-printed by himself, he created a strong fanbase. Many of his designs are part of public collections including the one of Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. His illustrations have been featured in publications such as tech-magazine Wired and the Dutch quality newspaper De Volkskrant among others.

In 2012 Schuurman became a textile designer for the legendary Dutch wax fabric company Vlisco - known for their intricate prints. Rather than working from their heritage, Schuurman applied his pattern-skills to create abstract and radically new designs for the company. With success - his prints are being worn across the world.
