Ineke Hans was born in 1966 in the Netherlands.
Since graduating from the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Arnhem (NL) in 1991 and the Royal College of Art in London in 1995, Ineke Hans’ work has evolved in many ways, acquiring the identity most clearly of a designer, with the impulses of a sculptor, and the industrial experience needed to define products with a commercial life.
Her work investigates the psychological roots of products, perceiving and playing with the interaction between people and objects. It centres around the pictogram and archetype. Old and brand new production methods are used in unconventional ways. Innovation in materials and techniques and innovative re-thinking of excisting human values and habits have become one of most important triggers for new work.
“If I add any product to the world we live in today, I think there should at least be any innovation involved. Innovation can be on a material or technical level but also on a functional, social or emotional level.”
