With the start of Maison & Objet in Paris a new season begins. Furniture brands show what they’ve been working on for the past few months and present their new collections. We’re looking forward to presenting our own new collection at the fair – a collection that is characterized by a love for natural materials, qualitative design and craftsmanship.
This week we're launching a new collection of furniture at Maison & Objet in Paris. One of the small(er) newcomers we're introducing there is the Otto, a multifunctional pouf. Otto is a comfortable pouf that invites you to lounge – to simply put your feet up and unwind. Whether you use him as a coffee table, a footstool or an extra seat, Otto is beautiful, practical and multifunctional in use.
This week we're launching a new collection of furniture at Maison & Objet in Paris. A special furniture piece that we’re highlighting this week is the Base. The Base dining table is a simple design made with craftsmanship. The table is made up of various wood joints, giving the table a unique character.
This week we're launching a new collection of furniture at Maison & Objet in Paris. The Modulo – our first modular sofa – is the center of attention. Therefore, we’re thrilled to introduce him to you here. The Modulo is as alluring as it is comfortable. The thin armrests, as well as the central steel legs, give the sofa a light expression, characteristic of Studio HENK’s designs. At the same time, large cushions allow you to lounge for hours on end.
Last week we sat down with Xander Albers, designer at Studio HENK, to talk about the brand’s design philosophy, the balance between aesthetics and function and the success behind the furniture.
We believe that furniture should be made to last a lifetime. Therefore, we offer well-made furniture pieces; pieces that are made with craftsmanship. To ensure the durability of our furniture, we only work with high-quality materials.
Simple, straightforward designs – made with attention to details
It seems like there’s a growing need for durable furniture designs. We’d rather invest in a well-made piece that lasts a lifetime than buy a new table every few years because it’s worn out. Therefore, Studio HENK creates simple, straightforward designs that are made with attention to details.
As with every furniture piece in your interior, a little bit of love and attention goes a long way in ensuring the durability of HPL furniture. Luckily, HPL doesn’t require special maintenance. Thanks to the unique non-porous external layer, you can keep it clean with simple, everyday care and cleaning methods. It is important to clean it regularly though, for example after dinner.
As wood is a natural material, it needs a little bit of love and attention to withstand the test of time. With these tips you will be able to ensure the durability of your furniture.
Fabric furniture always needs extra love and attention. By cleaning your furniture regularly, you can make sure the pieces will stay beautiful over time. One of the most important maintenance tips is to regularly vacuum clean your furniture piece. This way you can remove dust. It also prevents pilling.
A clever design that is powerful in its simplicity, that’s how we’d describe the Co Chair. While a steel frame emphasizes the sleek design of the chair, soft seating ensures hours of comfort – perfect for those lenghty dinners.
We can spend months roaming the internet searching for furniture pieces that complement our lifestyle. We look for furniture pieces that are beautiful but also practical, so they can become part of our day to day life at home. With a collection of customisable furniture we want to help you find these pieces.
Every living space is different, which means that every living space needs a different approach when it comes to picking out furniture. Interested in advice? We’d love to help you out!
The warmer temperatures in Amsterdam have us longing for a lighter interior. A living where the sun reflects on the walls, turning it into a bright, sunny space. It instantly makes you feel like you’re on a weekend getaway.
We can spend hours browsing interior stores for pieces of furniture, but how do we select the right pieces to turn our living space into a warm home?
The past couple of months we’ve been busy preparing for ICFF New York, one of the largest furniture design fairs in North America. As part of Ventura New York – the Dutch Edition we’ll be showing our collection, together with other Dutch design studio’s. See you there?
Made for daily life, our dining tables are the perfect blend of aesthetics, function and durability. We understand that the search for the right table isn’t just about finding a table you love. It’s about finding a table that you can use every day; a table that you can have dinner at without having to worry about spilling.
In recent years, we have provided tailor-made furniture for many different projects. We have supplied lunch and standing tables, as well as HPL Fenix desks with recesses in them. We have also designed and delivered extra long meeting tables and extra large (even stand-alone) wall cabinets. And our small newcomer, the Rest-table, is ideal as a table for a restaurant or consultation space. High bar tables and bar stools and chairs are also among our options.
The anticipation of spring has us longing for fresh, light shades. But how do we create a light interior – think white walls, natural tones – without making our living space appear cold?
While a rectangular table is perfect for larger gatherings, a round table is a cosy alternative for evenings with the family or small dinners with friends. Of course, the shape of your tabletop is also dependent on your home. Some buildings are made for round tables, while in others it just won’t fit. But how do you know which table is right for you?
While we’re feeling busier than ever before - with constant e-mails popping up on our phones, even when we’re at home - our interiors are becoming increasingly calmer and more serene. But how do you create an organized home?
As the new season unfolds, we open the windows to let the spring breeze float into the room. With a fresh perspective, we take a good look at our interior – what items can stay and what items can go? It’s the art of getting organized or – as HENK likes to call it – the art of order.
A new year goes hand in hand with new interior design trends. As we believe that furniture design should be timeless, we’re focussing on the colour trends of 2019 and the possibilities that these colours offer for your interior.
As January unfolds, we’re getting familiar with the new trends of the year. Starting off with IMM Cologne – the international furnishing fair – we’ll be diving into the international trends of 2019. See you there?
Surrounded by friends and family, we’re ending the year in style with lovely dinners, long conversations and a good glass of wine. Whether you’re having a little get-together with your friends around a cosy round table, or a dinner at a long table where the whole family can join in – with Studio HENK tables you can create the ideal setting.
Legno Frame - The Legno frame is a great new addition to our existing range of steel frames for our design dining tables. From now you can also opt for a fully wooden Studio HENK dining table.

Vt wonen - Every episode the diverse tastes of two residents are brought together to form a uniform interior. This episode (November 4th) one had a preference for rest, and black, grey and white, while the other was looking for colour and life. Frans Uyterlinde knew exactly what to do with this and created a warm, and at the same time calm green-gray interior.
Every Sunday a Dutch family falls in love again with their own home. Varied flavours, hurried lives; there are always reasons for not giving your house the attention and the atmosphere it deserves. While your home is the place to come home to, to recharge, to get together. The ] vtwonen stylists therefore do their best to surprise the residents time and again.
The Biennale Interieur is a mix of talents and established brands. In addition to the business aspect, it wants to be a place for meeting, reflection and appreciation. Room for meaningful answers to questions in the field of living and working. A curated and selected range of brands and talents, smart solutions for better work environments. In short: a stylish and inspiring environment.
Lounge chairs - Whether it is for pleasing the eye, or to actually lounge in: we love a well-designed lounge chair. It makes the seating area playful, is a beautiful addition to a quiet corner, and is wonderful for sitting by a stove when it gets colder outside. A good design lasts for years, and in a beautiful fabric it is a true eye-catcher.
The fair - The vt wonen&design fair is the home event of the year, and the ultimate start of the residential season. From 2 to 7 October, in the RAI Amsterdam. All known and upcoming design labels are represented, and the fair offers plenty of design and living inspiration. Consumers, professionals and students; the public is diverse.
Kick off - A great start of the interior decorating season: the showUP trade fair. Focused on buyers, stylists and press, and with a diversity of participants. Starting labels and established brands, accessories and a number of small and large furniture labels. Studio HENK has already participated a number of times, and this year we also had a stand.
Aesthetics meet quality - The leading Danish Kvadrat produces contemporary, high quality textile products. Upholstery that’s used by consumers, and by architects and designers for public spaces. Aesthetics, technology and functionality are requirements for their textiles. Colour, simplicity and innovation are paramount. The Kvadrat upholstery consists (largely) of wool. It is natural, easily to maintain and keep beautiful in the long run.
Ode - An ode to comfortable seating, you could call Studio HENK’s newest dining room chair. Studio HENK considers design important, so we think about every detail. And, maybe even more important, we want our furniture to be extremely comfortable. Why should design only be a pleasure for the eye? A chair must be inviting, and as soon as you sit, it must invite you to stay put.
Studio HENK @ Design District 2018 - We were pleasantly surprised with all new encounters and reactions to our products. We want to thank everyone for that! Did the fair make you enthusiast, or do you still have questions about your visit to DD-Studio HENK? You are more than welcome to visit us in our brandnew showroom! We are already looking forward to Design District 2019.
