At Van Rossum, we have been hand-crafting solid and sustainable furniture in our Dutch workshop since 1978. We collaborate with some of the world’s most notable designers, architects and creatives, and Van Rossum’s unique design DNA is shaped by the convergence of our respective narratives. For over 40 years, a love of quality
craftsmanship, mindful materiality and honesty in design have remained the hallmarks of our brand.
As we enter a new phase in the company’s history, we are widening the perception of contemporary living by introducing a unique and personal vision of the home. This vision is characterised by a timeless and elegant aesthetic, which is the result of tireless refinement and intense dedication to craft and process.
At Van Rossum, we are guided by a set of core values that shape our design philosophy. We believe in infusing each piece with the spirit of craftsmanship, honesty, timelessness, identity, materiality and sustainability, making our products stand out for their beauty, quality and durability.
We strive to create designs that are both visually pleasing and meaningful, and that resonate with people on an emotional level. We are dedicated to crafting furniture that not only enhances the aesthetic of a space but also lasts for a lifetime and can be passed down for generations to come.
For over 40 years, the art of craftsmanship remains a hallmark of Van Rossum.
At Van Rossum, it is an art form honed through deep understanding and refinement, and an approach that values care, passion and attention to detail above all else. We believe in utilising our skills to achieve the very best, regardless of artisanal method and technique. Craftsmanship is not just about the handmade but also about creating truly unique pieces, that evoke a sense of quality and that will be treasured for a lifetime.
At Van Rossum, honesty is of paramount importance.
We take into account the holistic experience of a design, offering transparency and authenticity in both construction and function. Our designs are honest, exuding a sense of respect for the user and instilling trust through their simplicity and purity.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to longevity at Van Rossum.
Our designs are created not for the moment, but for the ages, imbued with an innate staying power that endures in both style and usage. We challenge the societal desire for perfection, embracing the beauty of ageing in our pieces.
Van Rossum’s designs possess a unique identity.
It is a reflection of the convergence of the individual designer’s narrative and that of our brand. Our pieces exude sophistication, defined not by style or appearance but by the emotions they evoke. We believe that design should be more than just visual; it should resonate with people on an emotional level.
Our love of genuine materials is rooted in our identity.
Our love of wood is founded in its beauty, unique character, rich texture and longevity. Over time, we have expanded our palette to include other materials, such as linen, leather, stone and metal, each selected for their authenticity and ability to age gracefully.
At Van Rossum, we believe in designing for the future.
We are committed to creating products that are both environmentally friendly and sustainable. We use renewable and biodegradable materials and energy-efficient production processes. Our designs are expressions of our belief in creating a positive impact on the environment for future generations.
