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?
