Teun Zwets

Teun Zwets (1992) works from Studio Teun Zwets, the wood and metal workshop he opened in Eindhoven in 2026, after years at Sectie-C. A 2020 graduate of Design Academy Eindhoven, he works closer to building than to drawing: a piece is started before it is resolved, and only the making shows whether the form holds. The output is furniture, chairs, tables and cabinets, made as one-off pieces and short runs.

The Splitted Collection starts with an axe. Douglas fir beams are split along the grain and the crack, torn edge and exposed texture become the structure of the piece, sanded, primed and sealed under a high-gloss lacquer; the series extends to wall works, mirrors and cabinets. It was shown at Maison&Objet in 2025 and at Piet Hein Eek during Dutch Design Week, and in 2026 Zwets filled his studio with fifty chairs for NEW STUDIO SUPER SHOW.
