Hend Krichen is a London-based designer whose practice has been associated with luxury homewares, ceramic objects and collaboration with skilled craftspeople. Her approach draws on traditions encountered across the places she has lived, studied and worked.
After studying design at Loughborough University and Kingston University, she developed a practice where contemporary geometry and cultural storytelling could meet the human hand of the maker.
Her first Tunisia Made collection launched in 2013, bringing Tunisian craft into conversation with a modern design audience.
