A fresh look for an enduring design.

Originally developed for Van Esch and designed by , this distinctive building continues to reflect its architectural roots, now under its current name, Functionals. With the updated signage in place, the identity of the brand is once again clearly expressed in its surroundings.

We captured the building in its renewed state, marking this next chapter where architecture and brand come together seamlessly.

Steel is at the heart of Functionals. Renowned for its strength, durability, and versatility, it perfectly aligns with our commitment to quality and functionality. But it’s not just the material that defines us, it’s the hands and eyes of skilled craftsmen behind every piece.

In this moment, our specialists carefully inspect each detail, ensuring that every curve and finish meets our exacting standards. This consistent attention to quality allows us to confidently offer a 25 year warranty, so designs like the Wendela chair are made to be relied on for years to come.

Small but special

In many projects, drilling is no longer allowed, or clients simply want to minimize floor-mounted elements. That’s why a magnetic solution, specially designed for Vanderlande, was the perfect fit here.

We always aim to collaborate closely and find the best solution for every project, no matter how unique the requirements.

Ditch, Tertio and HJW at KMSKA

At the Antwerp, following the renovation by KAAN Architecten, we contributed to the renewed interior with a selection of our core products.

Ditch, Tertio and HJW are applied throughout the museum. Each product was selected for its architectural clarity, durability and suitability for high-traffic public environments, supporting both functionality and the overall spatial concept.

A project in which design supports the setting without competing with it.

Merging two brands is about the details.

This week we received the iconic Tubulus 100 coat hangers updated with our new logo. A small detail, but a meaningful one. It shows how even the little things reflect the process of merging two brands.

Branding isn’t just about a new name, it’s also about carrying your identity through the details, right down to the objects people use every day.

This morning we had the pleasure of welcoming , the designer behind our iconic Lloyd Table. A great moment to celebrate a long-standing collaboration built on craftsmanship, functionality, and timeless design.

Originally designed for the Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy in Amsterdam, the Lloyd Table has grown into a true design classic. Its elegant, poetic form features a smart metal tabletop that subtly flexes, ensuring stability even on uneven floors, a refined balance between engineering and aesthetics.

Thank you, Christoph, for the inspiration and partnership over the years.
