Studio Selects: Artists We Admire
At Studio Fifth Sunday, we believe that great design and great art come from the same place—vision, curiosity, and a deep respect for materials and form. This page is a rotating collection of artists we’re drawn to. Some we’ve worked with, some we dream of working with, and all of them spark something in us.
Artist of the Month: Hanneke Lourens
We met Hanneke Lourens at Neocon in Chicago, and while her work instantly caught our eye, it was meeting her in person that truly left an impression. Her energy is magnetic, and her pieces reflect that same balance of strength and soul. At first glance, her work feels quiet and refined—but the longer you spend with it, the more the craftsmanship reveals itself.
Born in South Africa and now based in Northern California, Hanneke brings a global sensibility to contemporary furniture design, infusing each piece with the spirit and vibrancy of her roots. Working from a converted cow barn in the redwoods, she handcrafts each item with a deep commitment to longevity and detail. It’s no surprise she was named one of Wallpaper* Magazine’s rising stars in 2024—her work feels destined to become iconic.
