Ward Wijnant

Experimenting with materials is the name of Dutch designer Ward Wijnant's game. Wijnant developed his furniture making techniques and broad material knowledge while studying at Tilburg Univeristy, and further evolved his creative process studying conceptual thinking at the Design Academy Eindhoven. With this experience under his belt, Wijnant opened his own company in 2015, aiming to create objects that tell a story and pay homage to the origins of craftsmanship.

Ward Wijnant's ultimate mission is to interpret methods and materials of the past and place them in a contemporary field that pays attention to the utmost detail. Inspired by the construction of traditionally made objects, Wijnant's artisanal approach embodies a particular aesthetic. An aesthetic that shows how the materials, and the way in which they are processed, influence the shape.

A new perspective in contemporary furniture design is the result of Ward Wijnant's hard work and innovative techniques. See more of his work on Instagram @wardwijnant
