Redefining the Joy of Design

Richard Hutten (born 1967) is a Dutch designer whose work is defined by creativity, humor, and a bold vision of contemporary living. A graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, he quickly became one of the leading voices of the Droog Design movement, which transformed Dutch design into an international phenomenon.

For collectors, architects, and design lovers alike, Hutten represents the perfect balance between art, innovation, and timeless Dutch craftsmanship.
