WHAT WE DO
HANNA BENIHOUD STUDIO
is an interdisciplinary design studio working between the worlds of art, architecture and design. We are passionate about working on exciting projects with a social conscience. We work on public art, wayfinding, illustration, animation, exhibition design and anything else we feel can tell a story and make a difference.
Our mission is to tell stories using empathy to engage and action to create. Our practice is centred around creating work that engages and builds community.
Often using the public realm as our canvas we make work that is site specific, exploring the boundaries of where architecture ends and art begins.
HOW WE DO IT
Empathy
The idea of listening shouldn’t be radical, but within the built environment it still is. We seek granular individual stories to get a holistic picture of a time or place to inspire the work. This personal connection between the storytellers and the work created means we may be the producers but the ownership is collective.
Creativity
We have no fixed medium working with helium to concrete. Each project uses materials and techniques that are site specific and aids in storytelling. This means no idea is off limits.
Action
We believe using stories to create work that publicly celebrates and elevates the community is powerful. We use art and design as a tool for positive disruption taking up space and interrupting the day to day.
Collaboration
No project we create is done alone. We are thrilled to work with communities, clients, makers, charities, local authorities and fellow artists to bring projects to life. This constant collaboration is critical for us to build a network of knowledge so we can collectively strive for a better city.
