Richard Hutten Studio

Richard Hutten is one of the most influential Dutch designers of his generation, known for conceptual and playful work that treats design as a way of creating possibilities rather than solving problems. Born in 1967, he graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1991 and started his own Rotterdam studio the same year.

Working across furniture and interiors, he has created pieces that have become icons, among them the Dombo mug for Gispen, the Layers Cloud Chair for Kvadrat, the X-chair for Moroso and the Satellite Chair for Offecct, with work held in more than 40 museums including MoMA and the Victoria and Albert Museum. A key figure of Droog Design since 1993 and art director of Gispen since 2008, he has won the Red Dot Award and the German Design Award.
