Lewis Kemmenoe is a London based designer of furniture and functional objects. He graduated with a Masters Degree in design from the Royal Collage of Art, and studied his Bachelors degree in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins. As a result, Lewis has developed a practice that takes the experimentation from his time studying, combined with his personal interests and tastes, and channels this into furniture that he sees as produced predominantly to be functional, whilst acknowledging the influence of his previous research. Lewis’work manages to evoke design trends of the past while maintaining a sense of longevity and timelessness. His acute appreciation of wood allows its natural beauty to thrive, with grain complemented against other materials, and celebrated in its finish.

Lewis Kemmenoe’s Debut Collection Features One Very Of-the-Moment Material. Kemmenoe takes inspiration from familiar domestic shapes, using them as a canvas for his innovative experiments. Each piece showcases Kemmenoe’s deep dive into its material essence, offering a fresh perspective on the tactile nature of our surroundings. While the foundation of each object remains rooted in its primary function, Kemmenoe elevates them with a touch that brings out their poetic and personal essence.

This transformation is less about strict logic and more about creating a visually engaging dialogue. Kemmenoe’s meticulous craftsmanship acts as a structure upon which serendipitous moments find their place. Organic forms seamlessly blend with industrial aesthetics, creating a balanced visual narrative.
