Desque found shelter in the Philips Klokgebouw on Strijp-S in Eindhoven. This former Philips factory is an imposing industrial monument. The industrial environment provided an inspiring starting point for the renovation. Transforming a production location into a true design center where creative companies can develop in an impressive monumental environment is a wonderful challenge.

RENOVATION AND DESIGNATION OF A MONUMENT
The choice for a clear structure, lines and sustainable materialization of the interior ensures that it forms a natural whole with the industrial environment. The concrete structure is the most important component, it has been stripped down to the concrete. A special entrance, a mezzanine with the sculptural staircase that seamlessly transitions into an elevation in the space for meeting, consultation, orientation and relaxation is central. From this place you have a beautiful overview of the furnishing products that DESQUE carries in its program, everything around it is unaffected and recessive so that these design products receive all the attention.
