Studio - Jan Hendzel Studio

Consultancy

With extensive experience of projects from concept to fabrication, we are well placed to advise on design and build. This includes lead-times, joinery, durability, installation feasibility, wood types, finishes, etc. Architects we have worked with include Michaelis-Boyd, Box 9, Wonderwall, Applied Studio, Red Deer, Coffey, Fraher and Edo.

Concept development and CAD drawing

Drawing is a service we offer in itself. Turning rough ideas into fabrication drawings is a daily activity for us. It streamlines the process of design – forcing solutions to unforseen problems. Our most complicated compound-jointed or multi-faceted pieces are underpinned by extensive CAD drawing.

Putting ideas to the test

In immediate proximity to the workshop and machine room means ideas can be tested while conversations in the studio are still happening. What’s possible is informed by what works when tested, and what works is constantly pushed by our desire to experiment.

Collaboration

Designing and making rarely happen in isolation. We have collaborated with architects, designers, universities, branding agencies, other creatives. These have resulted in some of our most interesting, diverse and farflung projects.

Talks and workshops

Jan is frequently invited to speak or facilitate workshops at architectural firms and universities about his approach and practice. If you would like to book him in for a talk, do get in touch.

Building a talented network of makers

We pride ourselves on finding solutions to the most complex of problems and frequently invite expertise from different sectors. In so doing we have built up a network of extremely skilled makers. Using laser cutters for intricate veneer inlay; using 3D printing to make bespoke threaded inserts to wall mount heavy pieces; or using metal machinists to create hidden knife hinges that can hold the buliest of doors, are just a few examples.

We are always looking to broaden our skill reserve. Problems are easily surmountable when you have the right team in place. If you would like to become part of our network, please get in touch.
