Much like our mantra of transforming everyday touchpoints beyond the ordinary, this year has shaped our story into something extraordinary, guided by momentum and the people who believe in what we create.

What began as a vision and a desire to reimagine hardware into something more than an afterthought, 2025 has unfolded into a chapter of meaningful milestones, and this is only the beginning.

Here’s a look back at some of the key moments that shaped 2025.

KBIS 2025

We started the year by flying over to Las Vegas for KBIS 2025, where we caught up with US designers and tradespeople to showcase over 20 of our solid brass collections.

From introducing our brand and our people to sharing our design philosophy on a global stage, KBIS became a standout moment for the beginning half of the year.

We were especially honoured when designer Domenic Marcolongo awarded our upcoming Scroll Collection with a Design Hound ‘Favourite Find’.

The Introduction of Hennie

Back in England, we welcomed Hennie, our vintage Land Rover Defender, into our fleet. A true British icon, born in the 1990s and built to roam, Hennie was carefully restored and reimagined to become part of our evolving story.

Basking in Sunshine at the Lincolnshire Show

Hennie took the road for the first time at the Lincolnshire Show, another first for Hendel & Hendel.

With the heart of our operations grounded in British design, we stayed close to our roots for this event, enjoying the UK Heatwave on our H&H deckchairs and newly transformed show van.

Our most memorable moment to date

October 2025 marked the month we opened the doors to our Hendel & Hendel Experience Studio in Shoreditch, London, a defining moment in our story.

The London Experience Studio was created as a space for true collaboration, supporting our ethos of hardware being in design conversations from the very beginning.

Here, our hardware is displayed as a bigger part of the journey, a gallery of collections, a materials lab for tactile exploration, and a setting for creative conversations.

Decorex

Returning for our second year at Decorex, we elevated our presence with a larger stand and more immersive experience.

We welcomed thousands of design enthusiasts, debuting upcoming collections, new accessories, and our anticipated Bronze finish.

Six new transitional collections launched

We launched six incredible new collections in 2025, and we can’t wait to share more design inspiration with you all.

From the sleek, minimalist profile of Austin to the industrial character of Trew, 2025 saw the expansion of transitional styles in our range.

Growing our team

Alongside our evolving ranges, our team has nearly doubled since the start of the year, and we’re so excited to welcome even more talent as we continue to grow.

Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to join the Hendel & Hendel team.

An ever-evolving story

2025 has been our most memorable year yet. A testament to what it means to make a thoughtful rebellion against the ordinary, creating hardware that surprises but feels right, every time you use it.

What we’re looking forward to in 2026

As we step into a new year, our commitment remains: hardware should never be an afterthought – it should be where the design story begins.

There’s a lot to look forward to in 2026:

  • Events including KBB, KBIS, and Decorex
  • The launch of our new Bronze finish
  • New collections from Scroll to Harleston and more
  • Continued expansion of our accessories range


We can’t wait to share what 2026 has in store, but for now, we wish you all a healthy, happy, and inspiring New Year.
