Batten and Kamp

Batten and Kamp is a creative partnership between interior architect Alexandra Batten and designer/artist Daniel Kamp. The New Zealand born, Hong Kong based duo create one of-a-kind furniture, objects, and spaces for collectors, galleries, and clients around the world. Their sculptural furniture and objects are made one at a time by the designers themselves in a converted factory space between a densely jungled mountain and a bustling port at the edge of Hong Kong Island.

Batten and Kamp’s work is represented in respected galleries in New York, Geneva, Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong. The couple have completed a number of site specific and custom furniture commissions in Hong Kong and designed boutique interiors such as the much loved Brut! restaurant in Sai Ying Pun. Batten and Kamp’s collections have been showcased in many group exhibitions as well as international art fairs and most recently in a solo show at the 2020 edition of Japan’s leading design fair Designart Tokyo.
