Industrious Solutions

Harnessing the industrial attributes of a loft space while creating a warm and welcoming home is not an easy task, but one in which materials make all the difference

Designer François Hannes teamed with Egon Deuze and the Willuks interior design studio to create the material-rich scheme for this home, located in Dutch design capital Eindhoven.

This loft, with its prime location and numerous layout possibilities, posed a challenge for the designers – particular in achieving a warm, cosy ambience to counterbalance the coldness of its industrial details.

The mission to create an atmosphere where luxury, warmth and light came together – while at the same time preserving the industrial charm of the space – meant that the choice of materials, furnishings, accessories and lighting was crucial. The designers decided to make wood one of their main choices, as its warmth and natural beauty flow in perfect harmony with the cold, modern nature of the exposed concrete beams.
