Hanneke Lourens

Born and raised in South Africa, Hanneke Lourens is a furniture designer, making contemporary pieces using classic woodworking techniques. Based in California, Hanneke draws endless inspiration from her roots –– always weaving the spirit and vibrancy of Africa into her work.

Working from a renovated cow barn in the Northern Californian redwoods, Hanneke makes each item by hand, constantly keeping quality and longevity front of mind. Her debut Corrugated Collection challenges the conventional ideas of beauty by elevating one of the world's most utilised building materials, corrugated iron.

In 2024, Hanneke was named as one on Wallpaper* Magazine’s rising stars as part of the Wallpaper* USA 400.
