What Studio HENK does

Studio HENK is a privately held Dutch design furniture company founded in 2013 by brothers Okke and Xander Albers and headquartered at Verrijn Stuartweg 14, 1112 AX Diemen, the Netherlands. It designs, sources, and sells a curated portfolio of made-to-order furniture across categories including dining tables, dining chairs, sofas, armchairs, bar stools, benches, coffee and side tables, desks, cabinets, sideboards, wall shelves, outdoor tables, lighting, vases, and branded merchandise. Products are designed in-house and produced by selected European manufacturers, with the majority of production in the Netherlands; the company is B Corp certified (2023, recertified 2026 at 91.6) and uses FSC-certified wood and EU Ecolabel fabrics.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct-to-consumer sales via a Shopify-powered e-commerce site with online product configurators (most notably a dining table configurator spanning shape, finish, dimensions, tabletop thickness, and frame style) and five brand stores in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht (Netherlands) and Antwerpen (Belgium). A dedicated B2B professional/project channel serves architects, interior designers, and project developers with named account managers, custom design and delivery, and a documented enterprise client base including PostNL, Amvest, Student Hotel, European Medicines Agency, Bols, and Gemeente Amstelveen. Pricing spans from approximately €279 for small coffee tables to €11,385 for premium corner sofas, with made-to-order lead times of 6-10 weeks.

Revenue mechanics consist primarily of one-time furniture sales under a made-to-order model, supplemented by accessories and merchandise (largely stocked for immediate delivery) and a multi-year Service Plan Plus extended warranty and stain-protection program for upholstered furniture starting at €25. Supporting services include a €3 material sample program (credit-eligible against in-store orders), free in-store interior advice, configurator-driven customization, and end-of-life services such as repair, reupholstery, upgrades, and take-back. Distribution is completed by a curated network of independent home-furnishing retailers in the Netherlands and internationally.
