Trained as architects and urban designers, Sofia Hagen and Lisa Hinderdael pursue a creative approach that explores the relationship of immersive art and biophilic design. Merging recycled materials with traditional craftsmanship and cutting edge technology, they produce elements, feature installations, and placemaking schemes that push the boundaries of engineering whilst bearing the incentive of a continuous afterlife.
As a creative practice, beyond their conceptual visions they are also fundamentally grounded in how to be earth-conscious designers of the future: always designing with the ethos of a circular economy in mind. From the business vision where all installations are made up of products to allow for repurposing and scalability, to their research and development arm into how to integrate the latest technologies within their designs: HagenHinderdael aim to inspire future generations into what we can do when we think outside of the box and bring our narrative full circle.
Who We Work With
We target audiences across a varying range of sectors seeking out installations for the public realm alongside feature artwork and light sculptures in the public-facing areas of hotels and high-end residences. Whether a small scale intervention with impactful change, or a larger scale feature installation – no project is too big or too small for us.
Who We Are
Sofia Hagen
With a background in architecture and interior design, Sofia focuses on the creative conception of HagenHinderdael’s products and installations. An avid public speaker with an engaging personality, she is responsible for the company’s business development and marketing strategy.
Whilst launching HagenHinderdael, Sofia practiced as a Senior Design Lead at Heatherwick Studios focusing on the Interior and Product Design for international retail and hospitality projects. Concurrently, she developed expertise on immersive installations in her role as a 3D experience designer for Bompas and Parr. Prior to this she was Design Director at Design Haus Liberty, responsible for the design development of numerous interiors and installation projects in the UK and Europe, as well as establishing the firm’s presence in the Chinese market by overseeing a 1.5 million sqft interior architecture project for a leading fashion company in Guangzhou.

Lisa Hinderdael
Trained in architecture and urban design, Lisa focuses on the delivery of HagenHinderdael’s products and installations.

Prior to launching HagenHinderdael, Lisa was Operations Partner at Design Haus Liberty where she was responsible for the running of both the architecture and lighting business.
