ABOUT GALERIE ALAINKO
Starting from a passion for design, architecture and modernism in all its aspects, Antwerp based Alain Hens started dealing in 20th century high-quality design furniture under the name Alainko.

At Alainko, we depart from a different perception on furniture. Insight and understanding of materials and techniques form the basis of this perception. Therefore we try to offer an alternative to mass-(re)produced furniture by looking for originality in design and finish, furniture with character, furniture that is exclusive and unique and produced on a small scale, furniture that needs no ornaments or decoration. In doing this, we try to look further than trends and marketability, to anticipate and thus have a hand in creating new trends.

Alainko’s experience and interest ranges from Scandinavian and Dutch designs to Belgian and French atelier pieces. But we do not stop there. We also have a special interest in creations that originate from Germany, Switzerland, Brazil and many other countries. It is not the signature or the origin that matters to us, but the unique look, the authenticity and the originality of a design. We seek to ad high-standard designs from small ateliers to our collection, rather than to acquire products of popular, obvious designers.

Antwerp’s geographical location makes it easy for us to actively search the European markets and maintain relations with dealers and collectors all over the world. Amsterdam, Cologne, Paris or London are only two hours away.
