Robin Hapelt

Designer of Sandua

For the Swiss-German designer, Robin Hapelt, great design doesn’t just have to look good, it should also make people happy. That’s why all of his pieces exude contrast and humour. Hapelt is now residing in Southeast Asia, which he calls “a very exciting and inspiring part of the world.” Much of his work reflects the Asian culture, particularly his use of Oriental weaving techniques and materials like rattan and bamboo. He makes his debut designing for Manutti with the ethnic-inspired Sandua collection, for which he spent many hours experimenting himself with different weaving patterns and techniques.
