Nynke Koster

90210 Stool (Fawn), 2025

Stool Pigmented rubber H 17 ¼ x W 22 ¾ x D 22 ¾ in (H 44 x W 58 x D 58 cm) Open edition Nynke Koster is a sculptor based in The Hague. Drawing from architectural history, she casts historic ornament—Georgian moldings, classical details—into rubber and fabric, making what was once rigid pliable. For the 90210 collection, Koster draws from Kelly Wearstler's 1926 Beverly Hills home, capturing its Georgian Revival details and reimagining them in pigmented rubber. 90210 Stool stacks these borrowed geometries into functional sculpture. It's a playful chain of inspiration: Hollywood channeling European classicism, now reborn through a contemporary artist's hands.

Nynke Koster was born in the Netherlands and is based in The Hague. She works at the intersection of architecture, sculpture, and heritage, casting historical ornaments—moldings, medallions, and flourishes—into rubber and fabric. Within these details, architectural form becomes a vessel for cultural memory, identity, and expression. By reimagining classical motifs as pliable, ghostly objects, Koster grants them new function and meaning, inviting touch, movement, and reflection. “Repetition plays a vital role in my practice,” she explains. “In architecture, ornament has traditionally created a sense of order and continuity, repeating along facades, ceilings, and columns. I’m drawn to that rhythm and use it to build a visual language that speaks not just of decoration, but of time and place.” Through her collaboration with Side Hustle, Koster encountered the architecture of Los Angeles for the first time. Her new body of work, 90210, draws inspiration from Wearstler’s 1926 Beverly Hills home, casting its Georgian, Federal, and Neoclassical moldings and transforming them into a series of functional objects—including a mirror, bench, chair, and stools. Removed from their original context, these shapes shift from history to abstraction.
