Mother’s Day 2021 has recently passed, so we can look forward to putting our fathers in the spotlight! We from Holland Design & Gifts are looking forward to provide you with the most beautiful, original dutch design gifts. You are guaranteed to surprise him! To give you an insight into the work of one of the designers we are proud of, we recently spoke to Mathijs de Groot, the creative brain behind sock brand ONSOCKS. We’d like to highlight him and our ONSOCKS range in this blog. Get inspired by this inspiration for Father’s Day 2021!
Father’s Day 2021 gifts with a story
Matthijs says he is doing well despite the effects of the COVID-19 virus. He enjoys working on the story behind the five socks. “1 story, 5 pairs each with their own sub-story,” he says. “The interpretation of the stories starts with the question; what do we want to tell?” With brainstorming sessions, Matthijs draws everyone empty with information. I only ask questions”, he says when we show our interest in how such a session proceeds. For Father’s Day 2021, we have the perfect gift for fathers who can relate to the universal story of grief, courage, faith, family, and above all love. The ONSOCKS Voodoo Punk set will surprise him on Father’s Day 2021!
Father’s Day 2021 gifts with the Netherlands as its inspiration
When we ask Matthijs where he gets his inspiration, he says: “By walking, through the cities and streets. Then I see how beautiful the Netherlands is. I observe the space around me and look up.” New designs are born as soon as a great opportunity arises. This was also the case when he spoke to the CEO of Delft Blue at a congress. This resulted in the beautiful ONSOCKS Delft Blue set which is created in cooperation with Royal Delfts. The set of five unique socks can be worn by the fathers among us in 10 different combinations. This way he will never get tired of them and you will give him an original gift as well!
Do you want to pull out all the stops on Father’s Day 2021? Then the ONSOCKS Mondriaan and De Stijl socks are the perfect gift. Every combination leads to something new, something good and always in Style.
Can’t choose which set you want to give on Father’s Day 2021? No worries! Matthijs himself says: “Sometimes I am in a hurry and grab two, then they are not from the same set but they still look good together. So you don’t have to puzzle over whether you are wearing the same socks or not.
