Annelien Gispen likes to combine colors, materials and shapes.
Studying at the HMC, wood and furniture college, she learned to use wood in a constructive way.
Furniture is there to be used, but can be pleasant to look at. Simple materials and functional design are her trademarks.
Having finished the HMC, she now studies at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, to broaden her horizon based on material research and form studies.
