stand van zaken (doorzon + Theo De Meyer) _ ROMANTIC ACTIVITY

The Stand Van Zaken collection is the result of collaborations between Stefanie Everaert, Caroline Lateur (together known as Doorzon interior architects), Theo De Meyer, and more than 45 people, ranging from graphic designers to writers, artisans, and photographers.

Stand Van Zaken is always a snapshot in time. In addition to their collaborative origins, the pieces of furniture share the same underlying principle: freedom of thought and the joy of creation. The foundation is usually made up of ordinary building materials used in ingenious ways: stoneware sewer pipes become the legs of a table; ventilation ducts become a lamp; polyethylene sheet—often used for cutting boards—becomes a tabletop; and concrete plywood panels form a modular cabinet. These inherently simple, industrial materials are treated with respect and precision, giving them a unique allure.
