Bill Hilgendorf
Co-Founder
Uhuru Design


Bill Hilgendorf grew up in Boston MA, but fell in love with furniture design and interiors while living in Stockholm, Sweden, in search of his roots. After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in industrial design he moved to Brooklyn and worked for a furniture maker before co-founding Uhuru in 2004. For the last 15 years Bill has employed design to tell the story of discarded objects and underutilized materials. He lives in Red Hook, Brooklyn with his family.
