Jan spent his early career at a pattern-making workshop, building up a comfort working with complex forms. He then went on to co-found Hendzel & Hunt, a space that championed intense experimentation with reclaimed materials, as well as a strong sense of community in their corner of south London. In 2015 Jan founded his own design workshop, where his drive for play, experimentation and British timbers has shaped the studio’s distinct design language: large format, sculptural simplicity that masks the complex connections and technical intricacies born from an absolute obsession with process, material and tactility. It’s these qualities that make up the Jan Hendzel Studio team; a crucial combination of detail-orientated designers and meticulous makers who move seamlessly between digital and handcraft.
