Crafting with a love of technology

  • • Hans is a versatile furniture maker
  • • He innovates by pushing technical boundaries
  • • Surprise is important to his aesthetic

Problem-solving and innovation are key words in the design ethic of furniture maker Hans Endendijk. Born into a family of designers, artists and art lovers, Hans had the genetic blueprint for becoming a designer and maker. Raised with the idea that everything can be understood by dismantling and reassembling objects and machines, the way was paved for him to become a furniture maker. Hans was apprenticed to a master for three years, and produced furniture for luxury interiors, including for a private yacht. The first piece he made was a coffee table with curved shapes brought together with coloured wood glue. Hans is well-known for using wood, metal, synthetic materials, electronics, digital imaging, photography, and 3D printing techniques.

SHE Paperclip chair and IT table

Signature pieces in Hans Endendijk's work , this flexible chair and side table are made from solid wooden beams, and shaped as though they were made from a single ribbon of wood. All the parts are stringed, like pearls on a necklace, in a predefined shape and this creates a very comfortable seat with a suspended back.
