Small details help create well-organised spaces.

At NIOD, our Ditch waste bin fits naturally into its surroundings through a clear form and understated presence. Functional where it needs to be, refined enough to become part of the interior.

Design that seamlessly does its job.

One table, many uses.

The Lloyd High Table is not just for bars. It also makes a great display surface for art or favorite objects.

Mark of distinction.

That line on the back of a Wendela seat gives you insight into our manufacturing process. The line marks the spot where the mold for the seat opens.

For the first time since 1984, all 88 paintings by Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) from the Kröller-Müller Museum collection are on display.

It has been a tremendous success, drawing a large influx of visitors from both the Netherlands and abroad.

We are pleased to have been able to assist the museum by providing additional lockers and coat racks for the duration of the exhibition.

Ditch moves with you. Equip the waste bin with a logo, wheels, a lid, or an additional waste stream. Personalize the symbols for waste streams. Or choose a different colour or size.

Step inside NIOD in Amsterdam, where history and contemporary design meet in an extraordinary architectural setting. The Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies is housed in a magnificent city palace designed by architect Abraham Salm for to***co entrepreneur Jacob Nienhuys. Here, visitors experience a fascinating dialogue between two distinct eras: the monumental, richly decorated 19th-century architecture and the contemporary designs of Functionals, created by Christoph Seyferth and Frans de la Haye.

A beautiful example of how historic architecture and contemporary design can complement and enhance one another.

A bench is best experienced by sitting on it.

During Amsterdam GLUE, we invited visitors to take a seat on our Ben Bench and share their thoughts.

Here's what they had to say.

"Good design is honest, clear, and functional. It doesn’t shout for attention but finds its place naturally, blending form and function into something timeless." - KASCHKASCH

DESIGNED TO ENDURE

On 30 September, Functionals and Vitra brought together three perspectives on creating for the long term.
Tim Reusch, Thomas Bedaux and Tim Brans shared their views on adaptable spaces, timeless craftsmanship, circular materials and reuse. Different disciplines, connected by one question: how do we create spaces and objects that remain relevant over time?

A look back at an afternoon of ideas, conversations and new perspectives.

Three legs. Three generations. One family story.

Designed by GECKELER MICHELS, the HJW coat stand celebrates 50 years of functionals’ history—formerly known as van Esch. Its three powder-coated steel legs represent the three generations behind the family business, while its name pays tribute to the founder, Hendricus Johannes Wilhelmus (HJW) van Esch.

A functional object shaped by heritage, craftsmanship and thoughtful simplicity.
