About

We are on a mission to reimagine material, its application and its potential.

Envisions is a multidisciplinary design agency that reimagines materials by creating visionary spaces, inspiring content, and developing new applications for the world’s bravest brands.

We do so by bringing different design disciplines together and making the future of material tangible. We visualise its potential and showcase it around the world, helping manufacturers rethink their products from the ground up—their fabrication, processes, and applications.

By making ideas tangible, we bring innovation to life. We challenge the process and give rise to new design possibilities that would otherwise be deemed impossible. Busting open rusty patterns and inspiring the industry with the potential of the future.

At Envisions, we dive deep and aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty. This practical approach gives us the confidence we and our clients need and unlocks boundless creativity and useful innovation. We thrive in the unknown—it’s where our best ideas come to life.

Envisions

Much more than the sum of its parts.

Envisions began in 2016 in the heart of Eindhoven, founded by Sanne Schuurman, Simone Post, and Iwan Pol—graduates of the visionary Design Academy Eindhoven. After attending Europe’s largest design fair in Milan, they felt uninspired by the overwhelming focus on finished products and the lack of diversity in design approaches. This experience sparked the idea for Envisions—a collective dedicated to celebrating the design process itself.

Driven by a desire to bridge the gap between academia’s open-minded exploration and the professional design world, Envisions was created to showcase everything but the final product. By collaborating with like-minded designers known for their experimental and colorful approaches, Envisions fosters an environment where interaction, exchange, and creativity thrive, proving that the journey can be as inspiring as the destination.
