Ward Wijnant (1987, Tilburg) started out at the Wood and Furniture College, where he developed his furniture making techniques and a wide knowledge about materials. He continued his career at the Design Academy Eindhoven where he graduated as an independent designer. He started his own company in 2015.

Ward’s work is characterized by experimenting with materials. It is his mission to interpret the diversity of methods and materials and translate them in contemporary designs that pay attention to detail and finish. The element of surprise is of essence in his work.
