HKliving: Drawing inspiration from the past to improve the present and future
HKliving reinvents interior spaces by infusing them with creativity, boldness, and joie de vivre. Through original collections that challenge conventions and bear its distinctive signature, the brand creates much more than objects: it offers true visual and sensory experiences. Each piece is designed to inspire, surprise, and push the boundaries of conventional design. Furniture, tableware, decorative objects—HKliving explores every corner of the interior universe with a free and innovative perspective.
The genesis of HKliving
The HKliving story began in 2008, when creative Emiel Hetsen and mathematician Sander Klaver joined forces, driven by a shared passion for vintage treasures and characterful interiors. The brand name, HKliving, was born simply from the initials of their surnames. Surrounded by a collective of creative talents, they cultivate a warm and open work environment where all ideas can come to life. From the initial collection of 28 products, the brand has evolved to now offer two major collections per year, distributed in over 70 countries.
Inspiration comes from the past
It's a veritable treasure trove of ideas to reinvent. The creative team draws on the heritage of past forms and styles that resonate with contemporary interiors, then transforms them into bold and instinctive design. Rooted in the Dutch tradition of sobriety, the brand defies convention with flexibility and spontaneity. Always on the lookout for forgotten gems, its designers explore vintage markets and never leave a blank wall when imagining their collections. Without ever taking themselves too seriously, their passion for innovation is contagious: it drives them to design pieces that, once again, will stand the test of time.
The main objective
HKliving's ambition is to design collections that appeal to a wide variety of tastes, lifestyles, and cultures. Each creation is designed for versatility: it can become a bold focal point in an eclectic and vibrant interior, or blend subtly into a minimalist and refined decor. This adaptability is at the heart of their approach: it allows everyone to make their pieces their own, evolving them into spaces that are always unique. HKliving strives to develop objects with a timeless design, crafted with care and imagination.
An accessible visual identity
HKliving also stands out for its inclusive approach to design. While the brand is renowned for the quality and originality of its creations, it strives to make design accessible to as many people as possible. Thanks to a wide price range, everyone can find pieces that match their style, desires, and budget—whether it's a velvet armchair with luxurious accents or a ceramic vase with a more understated charm. This commitment to accessibility never sacrifices the brand's strong visual identity.
