About us

Innove is a design-engineering studio based in Aarhus that creates exclusive, made-to-measure furniture and architectural features for interior designers, architects, and quality-conscious private clients. Blending design with engineering precision, we co-create every solution with the client—from the first sketch to on-site installation—so each piece is unique, functional, and timeless

Christopher Houstrup

Founder and design engineer

I’m a mechanical-engineering student who refuses to stay confined to the textbook. Through coursework, internships, and freelance projects, I’ve learned to turn bold ideas into manufacturable designs—balancing aesthetics with structural integrity and keeping projects on track when the unexpected occurs.

Today I fuse that creative instinct with engineering to deliver fully bespoke solutions. Whether the brief calls for a sculptural staircase or a precision mechanism, I start by listening, sketching, and modelling, then iterate through calculations, prototyping, and validation until every detail works—on paper, on screen, and in reality. The result: purpose-built creations that solve problems beautifully and perform for years to come.
