In a period of over thirty years, Arne van Herk and Sabien de Kleijn have achieved a varied and unconventional body of work. It consists of architecture, urban design, interior design, furniture, household objects, films and experiments in form and material.

This book notes the ingenious skylights in their houseboat as well as the houses on Borneokade Amsterdam. It gives due attention to the foam-rubber objects, the fifty-centimetre high platform shoes, the Woutertje Pieterse School in Leiden and the accommodation building for the Dutch Royal Navy in Den Helder.

The architects' working method and their projects are explored in an essay by Hans Ibelings. Adriaan Geuze and Cilia Erens present individual outlooks on the work of Van Herk & De Kleijn.
