Studio Van den Akker is the brainchild of Rob Copley and Sean Robins, who set out to create the kind of furniture and lighting they could never quite find—modern but not cold, elegant but not overlyserious, and always made with obsessive attention to detail. The result is a made-to-order collection that nods to the past while feeling entirely at home in the present. From sculptural lighting to finely crafted furniture and architectural elements, everything is designed to be lived with—not just looked at. Alongside their own line, the studio also represents a handpicked group of global artisans whose work meets Rob and Sean’s unrelenting standards (which, frankly, are pretty high). It’s all about craftsmanship, character, and a bit of charm—because beautiful spaces shouldn’t be boring.
