“We treat our client’s business as ours”

11H is a design studio founded by Kenny Hong in 2014. Currently based in Singapore, our work ranges from product and furniture design to exhibition, art installation and graphic work. Simplicity with a twist – the trademark of our work – a pared-down, contemporary but characterful aesthetic combined with a democratic belief in good design for all. Our passion in designing for the real world goes a long way to explaining the timeless and unpretentious qualities of our studio’s work.

Whilst 11H’s designs can be simple, honest and minimal, it is always based on the principle to serve our clients’ goals and challenges.  We build true partnership by working together to realize their aspirations.Our work has been recognized and exhibited globally in various cities such as Frankfurt, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and China.  Our mirror design, affectionately called “The Sheep” won the prestigious Launch Pad Asia 2015 design competition in Hong Kong Indesign.
