Batten & Kamp

Batten and Kamp is the collaborative practice of Alexandra Batten and Daniel Kamp, an Aotearoa-born duo creating conceptual furniture and sculpture. Their work explores the tension between nature, comfort, and progress.

Recognized by Design Anthology as leading emerging designers in Asia Pacific (2024), their signature Steel and Stone series (2020) is held in collections worldwide. Other notable works include Elsewhere (2021), Sex Tape (2023), and Echo (2025), a series of sculptural lights debuted in their solo show From a Distance at Carpenters Workshop Gallery.

Based between Hong Kong and Paris, the duo has produced solo shows with Carpenters Workshop Gallery, Art Central, Novalis, and Design Art Tokyo, and completed commissions for the Palace Museum and OMM Museum. Raised in Aotearoa and trained in architecture and design, they founded their studio in 2020 to explore speculative, emotionally resonant objects.
