Nice to
meet you!

Lisanne Meester is a designer and maker of statement piece furniture for outspoken interiors. In her designs she likes to show constructional elements and materials that others might try to hide, such as big bolts, plywood edges and concrete. She finds beauty in these and uses them as key features of her designs. Lisanne makes high quality pieces that can be used in bold interiors and retail settings and creates true attention seekers for your space, brand or vision.

Lisanne graduated from Willem de Kooning Academy as a product designer, mainly making small objects. After wandering around for a bit, which included working in a hardware store, she found herself a studio space that she turned into a proper workshop. She discovered that she actually likes to take her eye for detail and apply this into bigger pieces of furniture. The love of building materials, born during her time at the hardware store, can be found back in the pieces she makes. Her work can be applied into interior or retail design. Custom solutions are also a possibility.

Core values:

Drive

When you work with me, you are working with someone who is fully committed to your project. No standard solutions, but a design that is right down to the fiber – from first idea to final screw.

Personal collaboration

I think along with you, ask critical questions and translate your wishes into a powerful design. Not a distant clientdesigner relationship, but a creative collaboration in which your vision comes to life.

Integrity

You can count on honest advice, realistic expectations and transparent communication. I believe in cooperation based on trust.

Distinctive design

What you get is not a piece of furniture, but a statement piece. A unique, characterful piece that enhances your interior and reflects your personality or brand.

Let's collaborate!

I am always looking for entrepreneurs within fashion, interior designers, architects and project developers who want to use my furniture as attention seekers for their space, brand or vision!

There are several ways to collaborate on a project. Below you will find some common ways. For the most part they apply to both B2B and B2C projects. Please contact me if you have a request that is not in this list, I’m sure we can work things out together!
