Research. That's what Renee Mennen and Stefanie van Keijsteren – the design duo at Studio RENS – do best. Whether it concerns colour, material or technique, their designs are not thought up in advance but develop as they go along.

The two of them met at the art academy of Breda, where they both graduated as spatial designers and then immediately started their own studio.r. First they were  product designers,, but nowadays they’re more of a design research agency. Through trial and error – both for commissioned work as well as for themselves – they come up with the most innovative designs.
