Design Room

Contemporary Art en Design
We do Art. One room gallery in DesingRoom
Open Saturday or by appointment and Northern Europe.

Running a design company called IdeaHouse has naturally led us to look and study all forms of design, style, content, materials and how people use spaces. So to complement IdeaHouse we have introduced DesignRoom, a new concept store that delivers vintage furniture and goods, sourced from the U.K. Every vintage design item is a classic or has the style that makes it stand out. Respecting the original craftsmanship certain items are reworked and updated, removing ‘dark stain’, allowing the furniture to come ‘back to life’. The reworking process takes a natural route, involving many hours and a lot of hand work. No chemicals are used in the cleaning or removal of stains and coloured paint layers, and at the end of the process only a natural wax is used to ‘feed the wood’ and give the item true colour. From the U.K., we have selected the following furniture makers: Ercol, G plan and Parker Knoll. This stable of design labels will grow as we discover more unique names who have produced special craftsman items. Alongside this range will be furniture and goods sourced from Scandinavia, from the same era. We specialise in selecting and sourcing items that are current today and will be in the coming years, having been produced up to fifty years ago. Take a look at the collection which is changing and being updated on a regular basis, as newly sourced ‘vintage’ stock is introduced.

As luck would have it

We are in position to offer a two seater Ercol Jubilee sofa and two Ercol Jubilee armchairs that have just arrived and will be reworked. This is the opportunity to create bespoke furniture by selecting the fabric used by a professional upholsterer. Each piece is available to purchase individually or as a complete set. For a style/ reference image view our previous post.
Message if you would like further information.

A lovely story shared with us by Emma Josien, storyteller & copywriter. Thank you!

Ons huis vult zich langzaam met spullen die een verhaal vertellen. Met de verhuizing naar onze nieuwe stulp in het vooruitzicht, kijken we aandachtig naar wat mag gaan en vooral wat we houden willen.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Zo ruilden we onze designtafeltjes om voor deze salontafel van het sfeervolle zaakje . Deze is in de jaren ‘60 in Engeland door de fabrikant Ercol gemaakt. Design Room schuurde, lakte en toverde het oude meubel om tot dit fraaie exemplaar. De knoesten en nerven zijn zichtbaar en worden met de jaren alleen maar mooier.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Zonder blikken of blozen verkopen we designmeubels van Hay en Muuto en vervangen we ze voor unieke tweedehands exemplaren. Spullen die er al een heel leven op hebben zitten. Die we uit het hele land oppikken en in ons hart sluiten. Want ik geloof dat niet alleen mensen, maar ook spullen meer impact hebben als je het verhaal erachter kent. Ze komen tot leven en krijgen betekenis.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Ondertussen speur ik naar schatten en droom ik over hoe ons huis eruit komt te zien - een fijne zondagactiviteit. 𝘞𝘢𝘵 𝘻𝘪𝘫𝘯 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘸 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘫𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘶𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘮? 😊
