Venlo, 1934. A stone’s throw from the river Maas,
the Zuid-Nederlandse Clubmeubelfabriek is officially
established. A small-scale factory, making traditional
club furniture with a compact team. In 1948, brothers
Jan and Ton Sanders buy the small company.
In the years that follow, they become fascinated by
design from Italy and Scandinavia and decide to
develop a collection with models based on that style.
They name that collection ‘Leolux’.
Soon, the Leolux collection gains popularity. Traditional
club furniture increasingly fades into the background.
Together with the young designer Harry de Groot,
the Sanders brothers further develop Leolux into a
renowned brand.
The second generation, Jeroen Sanders and
Johan van Beek, continue this upward trend
impressively. Their visionary entrepreneurship takes
Leolux to the international top in the 80s and 90s.
A lot has changed in the past 90 years. But a lot hasn’t
either. Even now that the third generation has taken
over, the craftsmanship of our people is at the heart
of every product. Technology and innovation opened
up new possibilities, but the human factor remains
present throughout the entire creation process.
Because every Leolux is the product of everything
that makes us human: intuition, inspiration, nature,
creativity and feeling.
