OUR STORY
THE HOUTLANDER JOURNEY
Phillip Hollander is the founder of Houtlander, where his deep-seated passion for craftsmanship challenges the boundaries of making both traditional and contemporary furniture.
As a designer and maker of things, Phillip operates at the intersection of aesthetics and function, driven by the conviction that a deep, tactile understanding of the making process is an intrinsic yet underappreciated part of design.
This philosophy is anchored in a Japanese inspired approach of Kaizen, through which he relentlessly pursues efficiency and the elimination of waste to uncover the soul of the object.
For Phillip, the factory floor is as much a creative space as the studio, he believes that true innovation is born from mastering the "how" just as much as the "what."
