Hagen Hinderdael

Pairing product design with art, HagenHinderdael are an award-winning creative practice who pursue a design approach that explores the relationship of lighting and large scale installations in immersive environments. Following their backgrounds in architecture and interiors, the designers Sofia Hagen and Lisa Hinderdael, pursue a design approach that explores the relationship of lighting and large scale installations in immersive environments. Merging their abilities as designers with the material knowledge and craftsmanship of local artisans and cutting-edge technology, the designers produce elements and installations that push the boundaries of engineering whilst bearing the incentive of a continuous afterlife. HagenHinderdael’s ethos is to celebrate long-established craftsmanship and always think about the lifecycle of the installations. From the sourcing down to the afterlife, each installation has its own journey that is sustainably sourced and locally manufactured. In temporary installations, wherever possible, a product is developed as the singular unit of the design – creating a unique way for the pieces to be re-used and distributed afterwards.
