Juliën Vrinds Renou

Artist and product designer based in Utrecht. Makes things that blur the line between digital and physical.

The Work

I'm an artist and product designer based in Utrecht. I make work that sits between the digital and the physical — starting on the screen and ending in the room. What holds it together is attention: looking at ordinary things long enough that they start to feel strange, and worth keeping.

My practice moves freely between two worlds — precise, layered digital forms on one side, and hands-on making on the other: cut-outs, sculpture, light, and space. I like the friction between the two, and I follow it wherever a project wants to go rather than settling into a single medium.

Products

Objects & Sculpture

My products are objects you can live with — pieces that carry the same care and detail as the larger work, at a scale that fits a home or a space. Each one begins with something familiar and turns it into an object with presence: part image, part sculpture, part everyday companion. All pieces are available, and commissions are welcome.

Installations

Space & Experience

My installations are made for a place — built around a particular space, light, or moment rather than dropped into it. They invite you to slow down and pay attention: to move around a form, to notice how light falls, to feel present in a room. Each one is guided by the idea of statisch ongedwongen — static yet free, grounded yet open. Most begin as a response to the space itself, and I'm always open to new commissions and collaborations.
