Meijers is an Amsterdam-based designer known for a signature aesthetic of serene, sophisticated grey-toned interiors that balance architectural clarity with extraordinary material warmth. His work has been featured extensively in international design publications and his projects — primarily high-end residential — are among the most quietly aspirational in contemporary Dutch design. He occupies a distinctly different position from the bolder, more maximalist strand of Dutch design: where others reach for drama, Meijers achieves it through restraint, texture, and an almost meditative stillness.
The set includes:
1. Shades of Grey (Terra, September 2011)
Meijers' debut monograph and the rarer of the two. Published in a limited run, it went out of print relatively quickly. 192 pages showcasing the projects that established his international reputation, with full-bleed photography and his characteristic grey-on-grey material palette rendered in exceptional print quality. For collectors of Dutch design monographs,

2. Simply Elegant (Terra Uitgeverij/Lannoo, 2017)
The long-awaited second monograph, 224 pages, bilingual Dutch/English. By this volume Meijers had refined his aesthetic further: even more architectural, even more materially precise, with international projects joining the Dutch residential work that made his name. A broader and more ambitious book than the debut, and the more accessible of the two to find — but completing the set meaningfully.
Together these two volumes constitute the definitive archive of Remy Meijers' published work — a cohesive design library that reads as a single sustained argument for the beauty of restraint. See less
