Lady Penelope is based in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
The studio was established in 2005. In 2007 and 2008, Lady Penelope showed at the Milan Furniture Fair in Milan to showcase their design collections Modi and Secret Society to an international audience.
Many of their designs hide their true identity until users interact with them. An example of this is Klabenkkkk, a small bench that can be extended to offer seating to as many as nine people.
Designers
Lady Penelope is run by Eva Broekhuijse (Dommelen, March 5, 1980. She is an alumnus of the Design Academy Eindhoven, at which she graduated in 2004.
Criticism and style
Lady Penelope’s style is often described as being a mix of style, ingenuity and a sense of humour.
While some media emphasise the feminine playfulness of Lady Penelope, the validity of their design concepts is universal. Lady Penelope’s work does not target a female audience and indeed reverberates well in masculine surroundings.
