Creating functional lighting vessels that seamlessly blend art and design, the studio finds inspiration from sculptures and remnants of the past.

To create their lighting vessels, the studio uses hand-molded clay to form abstract sculptures that are then transformed into functional pieces using their proprietary Biopolymer Filaments. Each piece belongs to its unique series, with each vessel playing a distinct role within interior spaces. Throughout the creative process, the studio considers both traditional and modern production methods to push the limits of what is possible when merging old-world artisanship with today's context and technologies.

As a way to shift focus back to modest craft, HENRII (ohn-rē) places significant emphasis on the practice of hand building to form the brand’s cornerstone of uniquely familiar motifs. This brand concept creates a platform and space where one can experiment by combining different practices, while folding in new tools and skills from other disciplines.
