About Studio RENS

Studio RENS

Dutch Design Research studio Material minded, colourful to the core.

RENS is a design research studio specialised in the applied investigation of colours and materials. Based in Eindhoven (the Netherlands), we offer customised designs and valuable insights through a multitude of practices and services. RENS was founded in 2008 by Renee Mennen and Stefanie van Keijsteren. We pair a precise, almost mathematical approach to design research with handson material experiments and a keen eye for colour. Across disciplines and in a variety of mediums, we work on collaborative, commissioned or self-initiated projects.

Studio RENS is a research-based design studio. From Eindhoven (the Netherlands) the duo initiates projects in which colour often plays a key role.

In addition to their own collections and interior products, the designers collaborate closely with various labels and companies. Conducting material research, product innovation and art direction.

Previous partnerships included Auping, Cor Unum Ceramics, Tarkett (Desso), Moooi Carpets, Lacq, Lighting Laboratory KU Leuven, Philips Innovation Services, Canon NL, Pode, Baars & Bloemhoff, Design Museum Ghent and Zuiderzeemuseum, amongst others.
