MISSION

Dzek creates original architectural products under slow design principles in collaboration with designers such as Formafantasma and Max Lamb. We are globally recognised by architects and designers for taking a critical approach to resources, local cultures and design systems that yield unique material outcomes. This approach attracts a range of clients who not only use our products but also seek our guidance in developing bespoke, project specific materials guided by the same rigorous criteria.

We work on a variety of scales, studying and reinterpreting traditional craft processes and industrial manufacturing to transform raw materials into useful products suitable for architecture and design. This transformation is led by experimentation and our desire to understand the behaviour of elements under conditional influence rather than working towards specific aesthetic outcomes.

We believe that great architecture is made from elements that tell a story about their time and place. Through these stories we can peel back the layers to reveal the true value of things. Our approach to making respects the achievements of the past while aspiring to meet the challenges of the environmental crisis.

SERVICES

We work with architects, designers, luxury brands and property developers to create project specific architectural materials and products. We’ve supported our clients through a range of activities that include concept, research, fabrication guidance and execution, and defining cohesive narrative structures that are brand consistent. Get in touch with us for further information.

CAREERS

We are dedicated to radical design approaches that challenge our relationship to natural resources and can create something both useful and meaningful for architecture and space. The easy path never quite suits us. We would love to hear from you if you identify with any of this.

International Creatives for Ukraine

Poland-based designer Marcin Rusak has rallied international creatives to donate work for auction in order to help raise funds for displaced Ukrainians. All proceeds fromt the auction will go to Poland’s Fundacja Ocalenie, (Rescue Foundation), a non-governmental organisation whose primary aim is to help refugees and migrants settle in by providing them with support on all fronts, from distributing housing, food and essentials, to paperwork assistance and integration with local communities. Since its founding in 2000, the foundation has helped people fleeing from Syria, Chechnya, Ukraine, Tajikistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Belarus, and more.

We have donated a Marmoreal Side Table designed by Max Lamb and an ExCinere Coffee Table designed by Formafantasma. Please bid generously!

The Roaring Twenties

Colin Huizing, Liesbeth in't Hout and Studio Wieki Somers have curated The Roaring Twenties for the Museum Kranenburgh, NL. The exhibition is a reflection on the parallels between the 1920's and the 2020's through the lens of art, fashion and design. The curators invite us to look through the eyes of some 60 leading contemporary and historical artists, product designers and fashion designers at a world that is rapidly changing under the influence of technology, social engagement and shifting views on gender. Our Formafantasma designed ExCinere tiles are included in the exhibition's Empowered Nature section as an example of nature's potent influence over all created things.

The Roaring Twenties is open until 3 April 2022.
