SHANTELL X HOEK || Shantell Martin’s Newest Collaboration Fuses her Signature Lines with Transformable Furniture

Looking to add style and function to your home or office? The new collaboration between Artist Shantell Martin and Brooklyn-based, handcrafted quick-assembly furniture brand HOEK will add a touch of whimsy and joy to your everyday life.

Artist Shantell Martin’s signature black and white lines have led her to exciting and very successful collaborations that highlight both her work and those of the brands she loves. She has collaborated with the Pulitzer-Prize winning musician Kendrick Lamar and worked with brands as varied as Google Creative Labs, The North Face, and B&B Italia. In her newest collab - Shantell x HOEK - Shantell designed super fun pieces with her iconic pen, from coasters to coffee tables to wall art, to spread throughout any eco-conscious home.

Unique coasters designed by Shantell Martin made use of HOEK’s workshop and expertise.

The packaging also bears the designer’s playful illustrations.

Shantell's work explores themes of identity, connections, and play. Together with Shantell, the sustainable home company HOEK wants to challenge people to think about how they use space, how they consume, and the materials that they choose.

We are particularly in love with this storage tray that looks great together or apart.

A desk organizer that will be the envy of your colleagues and also add some fun to your office setup.

HOEK is creating a limited collection of pieces ranging from small handheld-sized elements to room-sized installations that will spark joy and inspire people to think more creatively about how they use the space around them.

“Using our collaboration with Shantell as a starting point, we can set up a framework for future artists to collaborate with HOEK on an ongoing basis. Shantell’s art perfectly utilized our machinery, workshop, and expertise in materials and fabrication. We hope to enable other young artists to find a platform and also further our mission of innovation within the furniture industry.” - Conor Coghlan, Co-Founder & CEO
