Coen’s philosophy centers on applying classical woodworking techniques within modern design frameworks. He believes that the wisdom embedded in traditional joinery methods, perfected over centuries, offers unmatched strength and longevity. By integrating these time-honored approaches with contemporary aesthetics and functionality, he creates a distinctive fusion that results in timeless designs built to transcend generations.

Coen’s working method is characterized by extensive material research that precedes every project. He collaborates closely with suppliers to identify the perfect source for each piece, ensuring authenticity and quality from the very beginning. This material research involves creating samples and scale models of his designs, allowing him to determine the ideal wood quality and color palette for each creation. Through this methodical approach, he ensures that every design decision is informed by both aesthetic vision and material reality.

His pieces strive for perfection not just in aesthetics, but in every microscopic detail of their construction and finish. Each joint is cut with engineering precision, every surface refined to tactile perfection, and every proportion calculated to achieve both visual harmony and functional excellence.

At Studio Beeks, Coen works independently on his own designs, crafting each piece by hand in his workshop. This intimate scale of production allows him to maintain absolute control over quality while ensuring that every table carries the personal touch and meticulous attention that defines true craftsmanship. The result is furniture that serves not merely as functional objects, but as enduring testament to the marriage of technical mastery and artistic vision.
