Biography

Ineke Hans started studying Art at Hogeschool voor de Beeldende Kunsten in Arnhem (now ArtEZ) but soon switched to study 3D design. In 1991 she graduated with one-off furniture and small-batch products at the Product Design Department. She moved to London in 1993 and graduated with an MA in Furniture design from the Royal College of Art in 1995. Vico Magistretti had been visiting tutor during her time there. After graduation Habitat UK asked her to work with them as a furniture designer, but soon she was also designing accessories for them. After 2 years she started to develop furniture herself. In 1997 this resulted in a self-initiated design presentation in The Tramshed, a derelict building in East London.

In 1998 Hans focused on her own work and started her design studio back in Arnhem (NL). From 2003 onwards she started to work more and more for manufacturers. Her clients include RoyalVKB, Ahrend, Arco (Netherlands), Iittala (Finland) Offecct (Sweden), SCP (UK) Magis (Italy). Her work can be found in international museum collections of a.o. Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Rotterdam, Victoria and Albert Museum London, Musée des Arts Décoratifs Paris, The Art Institute of Chicago. In 2009 Hans was Guest of Honour at the Stockholm Furniture Fair and in 2012 at the Budapest Design Fair. In 2014 she was special guest at designblok Prague. Hans is regular involved in international talks and debates on design.

In 2014-2015 Hans was guest professor Productdesign at the University of Kassel (Germany) where she looked into 'unplugged' and 'the future of furniture' with her students. In 2015 Ineke moved back to London. From here she works on projects with her studio in Holland and on a research project 'future scenarios for furniture design and consequently the changing role of the designer'. To do so, she has started up STUDIO|SALON. Through columns, events and a row of round table conversations with experts in the field of furniture design, queer thinkers, international visitors and experts on human behavior and mobility, Salon tries to redefine perspectives for design and the role of the designer. This resulted in a wrap-up event in London with an exhibition, last salon talks and a Pamphlet that carried 12 mottos to act upon for design and designers. In October 2017 Ineke Hans was appointed Professor Design in Social Context at the Universität der Künste in Berlin. References: [1] [2] [3]

She has also turned her attentions to the world of textiles, designing the patterns of luxury carpets. [4]
