About Kranen/Gille

Some things are built to last. Not because they were engineered that way but because they were made with conviction.

Jos Kranen and Johannes Gille don't follow trends. From their studio in the heart of Den Bosch, they make objects that draw from the raw power of heavy industry and the quiet endurance of nature. The result is work that lives in the tension between two worlds: robust and refined, structural and organic, industrial and alive.

They work with their hands before they work with a screen. Because good design should feel discovered, not computed.

Their pieces have found their way into museums, private collections, and the homes of people who buy things once and keep them forever. Today, their work is part of the collections of MOOOI, Seletti, and Fatboy. Design that doesn't follow trends, because it was never made with trends in mind.

It simply outlives them.

Have something in mind? Kranen and Gille take on a select number of commissions each year. If you're looking for a piece that is truly your own, get in touch.
