'Le Belge System’ stop-motion video!

Recently we made a stop-motion movie of Le Belge System by Reinhard Dienes which we we would like to share with you!

This oak-wood shelf-system is based on a basic construction principle: The elasticity of wood. The flexibility of Oak permits a simple way of securing the levels and legs together by applying pressure using butterfly-screws, strategically placed near specially designed slots where the legs are inserted.

The need for tools to setup or adjust Le Belge System is therefore nonexistent. The Butterfly-screws also allow to vary the height of the levels to any desired position.

The levels & legs are available for order; please click here for the pdf with some possible variations of the system.

NewspaperWood | Framed by Breg Hanssen

We already mentioned the cabinet Framed before in one of our earlier newsletters, as part of the NewspaperWood collection.

Recently the cabinet has been developed to a reproducible item and the first cabinets have already been shipped. Below a version in RAL 4009 Pastelviolet which we showed at the Dutch Design Week.

As a customer you can choose between two applications of NewspaperWood; the first is massive 18mm thick planks which work and deform just like wood does, the other option is a more stable 4mm NewspaperWood veneer onto a carrier of multiplex which is more stable and has a more clean look .. The choice is up to you!

The Framed cabinets are available in several configurations and powder coated in every desired RAL-colour.

Sample Series in stock

The NewspaperWood jewelry 'Sample Series', designed by rENs are available from stock.

NewspaperWood can be seen as an archive made of characters, words, sentences and stories. Stories from one newspaper, one day, processed into one material. Embedded in brass, a small part of the archive becomes wearable as jewelry. Taking a closer look, characters or sometimes even words appear!

Sample Series is a 'wearable' material sample and available in five sizes from 30mm to 110mm.

Orders can be placed directly via our online order form!

Lloop lamps in stock

The Lloop lamp is available in two materials; the new copper version with a copper inside & the original Lloop in aluminium with a white coating on the inside.

The lamps are available in several colours and also with a pure copper outside. Please note that custom-colouring is also possible on request!

The Lloop is available directly from stock via our online order form, please click on the image for a pdf with more information and variations.
