Richard Hutten (1967) has been one of the leading designers in the Netherlands for over twenty years. After graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven in 1991, he immediately set up his own design studio where he started to work on furniture, products, interiors and exhibitions. In that period he also became involved in the newly established label Droog Design, which laid the foundation for the international success of Dutch Design. While some of his colleagues limited themselves to conceptual work, Hutten also focused on the functionality and producibility of his pieces. For some years now he has been creative director of Gispen, the furniture manufacturer that was so closely involved in the interior of the Sonneveld House back in the 1930s.
