Two makers, one wind.
Robin draws the shape. Anne gives it a body.
In Breda, Anne and Robin make furniture that looks like it wandered in from a gallery, and wall pieces that feel like they grew there. Any Way the Wind Blows, the studio they founded together in 2023, is what happens when a graphic designer and an illustrator decide to stop working on screens and start working with their hands.
The process is precise and a little unpredictable, which is exactly how they like it. Robin designs. Anne translates into material. Hand-sawn wooden blocks, individually upholstered, assembled into bold compositions. No two pieces the same. Then felt arrived and softened the whole operation: less control, more trust, more life in the edges.
Their color palette is fixed. Terracotta appears often. Pink always finds a way in. The shapes are graphic, the surfaces are tactile, and the gap between the two is where the work lives.
Long-term vision: large-scale textile installations. The wind, apparently, has bigger plans.
"Make it yourself. Let the wind decide where it lands."
