Ask the Designer: Julien Renault
Last week we met up with Julien Renault, designer of the Log Table and Punched Collection at Hem, to visit his studio in Brussels, talk about life and his personal journey into design.
Punched Metal Hook Large Black
by Julien Renault
CA$69
A heavy-duty press stamps thick plates of steel into shape to create the Punched Metal Hook. These tough, industrially inspired objects by Julien Renault are a tribute to the precision and efficiency of metalworking processes. Their substantial scale and elegant form make them not only the perfect place to hang your coat, but also miniature sculptures in their own right. Various powder-coated color options add to the hooks’ decorative appeal. Use them in strict rows for regimented order or scatter them liberally across your wall for a dynamic effect.

Designed by Julien Renault
A graduate from prestigious ECAL in Lausanne, Julien Renault started working as an assistant to a fellow Hem collaborator, Sylvain Willenz right after his studies. With a handful of awards under his belt, Renault established his own practice in 2011. Inspired by everyday objects, his designs are clean, simple and minimalistic, with the Punched Metal collection being the best example of his approach.
