THE DUTCH DESIGN DUO RENS CONSISTS OF RENEE MENNEN
& STEFANIE VAN KEIJSTEREN, THEY WORK TOGETHER
SINCE 2008.
THE MAIN THING OF US WORKING TOGETHER, IS THE
FRIENDSHIP IN WHICH OUR PERTNESS, IMPULSIVENESS AND
PASSION COME TOGETHER.
BEING A DUO, WE KEEP ON SEARCHING FOR NEW CHALLENGES,
THIS KEEPS THE COLLABORATION SHARP, BUT FOREMOST A
GREAT DEAL OF FUN.
IN OUR WORKING METHODS AS DESIGNERS, WE GIVE SPACE TO
SPONTANEITY.
EVERYDAY WE ARE INSPIRED BY MEASURES, FORMS AND
PROPORTIONS.
CAN A NARRATIVE, A DESIGN IN WHICH THE FUNCTION HAS
ALMOST DISAPPEARED, STILL HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF A
LOGICAL DESIGN, AN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT?
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE MAKE A CABINET THAT WOULD NOT
FIT INTO ANY BUILDING?
COULD IT STILL FUNCTION AS A CABINET, WHEN ONE CANNOT
USE IT AS SUCH?
OR WILL THE CABINET’S EXAGGERATED SIZE GIVE THE
POSSIBILITY TO APPRECIATE THE PIECE OF FURNITURE IN A
DIFFERENT WAY?
