AFTERGLOW

India Mahdavi presents Afterglow, an exhibition by PIN–UP HOME featuring a collection of resin candleholders by Dutch industrial designer and furniture maker Vincent de Rijk.
Designed by Vincent de Rijk for PIN–UP HOME, the POD candleholders are inspired by the view from de Rijk’s studio overlooking the vibrant port of Rotterdam. For Afterglow, the POD pieces come together in an evocative tablescape, their circular resin forms anchoring the scene with bursts of joyful color: cloud white, dawn pink, mist green, sun yellow, and wave blue. Echoing the movement of ships gliding through water, the PIN–UP HOME installation and the POD candleholders capture the glow of gathering, the rhythm of waves, and the lightness that lingers after a party with friends.

Vincent de Rijk is a Dutch designer and model maker known for his innovative approach to design and architecture. A graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, he founded Werkplaats Vincent de Rijk in Rotterdam. His work spans architectural models, industrial design, and resin-based creations. Since the 1990s, De Rijk has collaborated with renowned fi rms such as OMA and MVRDV, helping shape their distinct model-making style. He also expands into furniture and object making, merging art, functionality, and industry with minimalist precision and an ongoing exploration of materiality. The POD candleholder is his first design for PIN–UP HOME.
