DESIGNERS
‘When Tribù contacted me, I immediately
had the feeling they were giving me a lot
of freedom to express myself. In all my
designs I start from an intense emotion.
There was always a lot of enthousiasm
and dedication to the development of
my ideas at Tribù. I experience them as
a company that wants to produce rational
objects, but always with a sense of po-
etry.’
‘The fruitful collaboration with Tribù since
more than 20 years, demonstrates our
mutual vision on design. To us, design is
more than beautiful shapes, more than
trendy styling, it is a continuous search
for the essence of products. Good prod-
ucts are the result of the right combina-
tion of creativity and technical know-how.’
‘Tribù’s style fits well with what I’m work-
ing towards in my architectural projects.
No spectacular loud furniture, but a last-
ing, timeless line with an eye for detail.
We share a love of pure forms and flow-
ing lines and dare to go a step further
technologically.’
‘Working together with Tribù was a very
positive experience for us. First of all
because of their belief in our designs,
secondly because of the way the project
was handled with a lot of involvement,
preciseness and seriousness, which was
very stimulating.’
‘Tribù asked me to add a female touch to
the collection. There are a lot of things
in my work that we have in common, a
sense for materials, colours and textures,
the attention for the smallest detail and a
passion for research and experimenting,
keeping precisely in mind how a Tribù
product should look like.’
‘Our approach is a constant search for
the perfect balance between proportions,
materials and technology. We always aim
for pared down forms with strong lines,
in combination with natural materials and
attention to detail. We found the same
kind of philosophy at Tribù. They have a
strong sense for tradition and craftsman-
ship, without losing the functional aspect.’
‘Tribù has a critical eye towards compo-
sition of balance and form – which stems
from a rigorousness to get to the details,
as well as from a drive and passion to
come up with the best piece of furniture.
This exactitude leads to the greatest real-
izations. We, as designers, also appreci-
ate the minimalist approach to materiality
that Tribù takes, and with that, together
we have created products that have in-
herent soul and personality that is not
easily forgotten.’
