Renouve Studios: A Time To Renew
The pandemic had many of us rethinking our lives and the choices we make every day. For Alexander Hennings, the same was true. As a filmmaker and video editor suddenly stuck without work during lockdown, Alexander looked beyond his training to find new purpose and a creative outlet.
He started Renouve Studios in 2020 with the purpose of closing the loop in the circular economy. The vision was thus to breathe new life into damaged and outdated furniture, and find deeper meaning in the things we buy.
Since then the Studio has expanded into a broad range of disciplines. The focus now lies with custom commissions, product design and manufacturing, restoration, modernization of old furniture for resale, and metalwork.
“We love to combine steel and wood and we believe in uncompromising quality, service and unique design. All of our items share stories from before one’s present moment.”
What does the name mean?
“Renouve” is short for “Renouveler”, which in French, means “To renew”.
With restoration, Renouve Studios bring a renewed life to furniture, reviving lost beauty and ensuring each piece live on through skilled and attentive craftsmanship.
