Batten and Kamp is the collaborative art and design practice of New Zealand-born, Paris-based couple Alexandra Batten and Daniel Kamp.
Since 2020, Batten and Kamp have built a creative universe of functional sculptures drawing on influences ranging from science fiction to natural history. The duos’ shared sensibility and unique aesthetic language come from the combination of the years they spent in the cyber-punk metropolis of Hong Kong and their childhood memories of the serene landscapes of New Zealand. Their works explore themes of progress, connection to the earth, and their personal sense of place.
Batten and Kamp have mounted solo exhibitions in Hong Kong and Tokyo and exhibited in group shows in Paris, New York, Shanghai, Brussels, and Copenhagen. They were awarded the Design Art Tokyo Under 30 award and have created unique pieces for Art Central Hong Kong and the Palace Museum of Hong Kong. Their works are a part of the permanent collection of OMM Museum in Turkey.
The duo and their works have featured HypeBeast, Design Anthology, ID Magazine, Architectural Digest, and many more prominent publications.
