Anton Hendrik Denys

Belgian designer Anton Hendrik Denys was born in July 1990. After living in the Netherlands, the United States, and his native Belgium, he moved to Copenhagen in early 2020 to further establish his practice. Anton’s architectural background and natural affinity for trends are omnipresent throughout his work.

Arist Biography

With an instinct for intriguing materialities, Anton combines the familiar with the unexpected. Often minimal and geometric in form, his objects reflect a substantial knowledge of material properties. Balancing different techniques, his experimental approach leads to surprising results.

For example, the project Self Reflect allows us to observe ourselves in everyday life, similar to Caravaggio’s painting of Narcissus. Through extensive research, Anton explored the material properties of stainless steel. His quest resulted in gradual reflectiveness and fluid colours in the material, echoing the romantic atmosphere of Caravaggio’s painting.

Ultimately, the urge to transform mundane objects into refined everyday spectacles drives Anton to continuously redefine his surroundings.
