NESTOR & ROTSEN

Artisanal Belgian design

Natural materials, pure lines and artisanal techniques.

Nestor & Røtsen combine a love for art with craft and enthusiasm. The aim? To design and create inspiring objects that mirror the beauty of natural imperfection.

Thanks to a passionate love for organic shapes, aesthetic artistry and hand-made luxury.

THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF ORGANIC SHAPES

The story of Nestor & Røtsen is the story of the brothers Devi and Denneb Vervaeke. Naturally predisposed for art, music and natural patterns, they grew up as children of a painter and grandchildren of a furniture maker.

Three things have always been a part of them: creation, imagination and perfection. As a child, Denneb displayed these three points in his colourful and organic drawings. Devi did so in his compositions for classical piano. As he says, “My compositions from then show similarities to our objects today: a search for the right balance and harmony between contradictory ingredients.”

brothers Devi & Denneb Vervaeke

Before Nestor & Røtsen existed, the fascination for texture, colour and natural erosion guided Devi and Denneb to their own painting studio. With Atelier Nest, the brothers discovered the boundaries between natural phenomena and classic finishing techniques in contemporary, minimalistic and classic interiors. However, inspiration cannot be described and generalised so easily. Today the unique processes and patinas are the foundation of Nestor & Røtsen. Exclusive objects wherein natural materials and techniques are the basis for organic shapes and the perfect imperfection.

Erosion is the most underestimated natural beauty. The turbulence of wind, water and ice give stone and rock an unmatched dynamic. Collin is an arty tribute to that beauty.

Its Neststone lime plaster surface creates an eroded look, thanks to dedication, artistry and handmade work done over several phases and over a lengthy period of time.
