Studio RENS

Studio RENS is a design research studio in Eindhoven, founded in 2008 by Renee Mennen and Stefanie van Keijsteren and specialised in the applied investigation of colour and materials. The duo pairs a precise, almost mathematical method with hands-on material experiments, working across disciplines and media for brands, labels and its own collection.

The offer is organised as design research, collection, art direction and spatial work; the studio’s Selected Works and Exclusives cover ceramics, furniture, rugs and small objects. RENS describes its method as digging, peeling and questioning rather than analysing, with the research process valued above the finished outcome.
