VONK FURNITURE

Bringing people together, letting them enjoy, making them talk to each other: that's VONK's mission. Just like Jonas Willems, the designer of VONK, his furniture has a distinctive edge. The 'end grain cut', where the steel frame and the hardwood top meet, characterizes the collection... It all started with the VONK Fuse, a relaxed trapezoidal picnic table. This sturdy table with fixed benches was quickly picked up by several organizations, who saw in the Fuse picnic table the dream lunch table for their employees... As the son of an architect/carpenter, Jonas inherited his love for wood from a young age. But his biggest inspiration came from his grandparents, who were gallery owners. The legacy of the "Huize Geertrui" art gallery colored Jonas' childhood. In his home environment and among family, he was introduced to Flemish artworks and Scandinavian design. The stylized works of Renaat Ivens strongly inspired him, as did the pure forms of the Scandinavian design pieces.
