Defiant Sense began as a radical design collective in Amsterdam. We rebelled against the square, rigid forms of mid-century modernism, embracing the fluid, cosmic geometry of the space-age.
The 1970s space-age aesthetic wasn't just about cosmic designs; it was about ergonomics. By molding plastics and using fluid, organic lines, designers created furniture that adapted to the natural curvature of the human body.
We employ advanced recyclable polyurethane and structural ABS polymer molds, wrapped in luxury wool and shiny chrome steel frames, to bring those ergonomic dreams back to life.

We digitization our original design blue-prints, transitioning from vintage plastic compounds to eco-friendly, circular recycled polymers.
