Although Venlet is generally regarded as the inventor of a ’rounded’, rather ‘organic’ and ‘human’ minimalism, he does not confine himself to a single style as a designer and interior architect. A comprehensive overview of a 20-year career, which not only revolutionised the world of office, outdoor and residential furniture (with award-winning creations such as the ‘Easy Rider’ and the ‘Viteo’ shower), but also introduced a totally new concept of interior architecture, in which objects and users are no longer dominated by the space, but vice versa.

€34.00Throughout the centuries, silverware has been a source of inspiration for many artists. Religious silverware raised the profession to unprecedented heights, but in the course of the 20th century commissions became scarce. More and more studios had to close their doors and monumental silverwork soon disappeared into the background. Gradually, training also left something to be desired. Father Rob and son Jaap Thalen’s dream is to make the very best again: objects, utensils and works of art in silver such as have been hard to find for a long time. Monumental creations for which both the old craftsmanship and the most advanced techniques are required. Their designs take shape in Francorchamps, Belgium, and are appreciated worldwide.
