About
Hoven is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Johannesburg, founded by Nisha and Justus van der Hoven. Rooted in curiosity and a deep respect for process, the studio works fluidly across the disciplines of architecture, interior design, film, fashion, art, illustration, and exhibition. Hoven believes in the power of unconventional collaborations and that meaningful design emerges where disciplines intersect. Informed by nature and grounded in craftsmanship, Hoven creates spaces and experiences that feel both unexpected and authentic. Their work moves beyond form, cultivating atmospheres, building narratives, and inviting emotion - where space, story, and spirit meet.
Events with
Hoven
Featuring new prototypes by Mash.T and TheUrbanative, 'The Totemic Field' positions modularity not only as a functional system, but as a philosophy of circularity, collaboration, and expressive African design. Curated with Hoven, each piece stands as a vessel of memory and intention, shaped by material, labour, and the many hands involved in its making.
