Ineke Hans graduated from the Royal College of Art in London in 1995 and set up her design studio INEKEHANS/ARNHEM in Holland in 1998. Initially presenting and producing her own collections, since 2005 her focus has moved to industrial design and commissions. The studio works on a wide range of 3d projects (furniture, products and jewellery) as well as on exhibitions and some architectural projects. Ineke's early work centred around pictograms and archetypes, but her designs have evolved in many ways investigating the psychological roots of products, and perceiving and playing with interaction between people, objects and space. She uses old and new production methods in intelligent and unconventional ways. Innovation in materials and techniques and re-thinking existing human values and habits have become the most important triggers for her new work, making it multi-layered and playful. The recipient of numerous design awards, her work is owned by leading collectors and museums around the world. The Welland Collection is her first set of designs for SCP.
