Philipp Hensel

Philipp Hensel (born 1992) has studied industrial design at the Folkwang University of Arts in Essen, Germany. As the son of a carpenter, he early developed an affinity for furniture and the processes of making them.

When designing a product he likes to play with contrasts by combining different materials and colors. In the end it is important that the product fulfills it’s function, but also shows love for details and works harmoniously in it’s environment of use.

„You get used to everyday things very fast but as a designer you have to see those things and change your view on them so you can come up with a new idea on how those things could be like. And in the end the simplest idea is often the best idea.“
