More than a
showroom
Leolux Experience CenterWhen you think design, you think Leolux. This high-end furniture brand has a time-honored history of craftsmanship, luxury materials, and innovative design. The new Leolux Experience Center, with its custom-made interior realized by Gielissen, embodies this rich heritage.
Impressive staircase
landscape
How do you create the ultimate Leolux experience? The Dutch furniture group sought a fresh, new environment to bring their collections to life. An eye-catching building—with an iconic silhouette along one of the Netherlands’ busiest highways—and an interior to match. A stylish showcase with an impressive oak staircase landscape, an elegant reception desk and sample presentations with advice tables.
The art of
perfection
Leolux and Gielissen have partnered for years on sleek presentations at furniture exhibitions. “Like us, they’re perfectionists, and that fosters a connection,” says account manager Dagmar Bloeming. “When Leolux was looking for an interior contractor for their Experience Center, it marked an exciting new chapter in our collaboration.”
A high-end brand like Leolux demands perfection in every detail. “For a flawless result, we did a vast amount of sampling with interior design studio i29,” says Richard Posthouwer, calculator and assistant project manager. “Achieving millimeter accuracy between the building shell and the interior demanded an intensive process.”
No challenge
too big
The new Experience Center invites you to immerse yourself in the world of Leolux. Visitors can explore the collection at leisure and endlessly try out their favorite designs. The project, like every construction process, had its share of challenges. “But for us, the most important thing was being able to resolve them together,” says Dagmar. For example, the large internal staircase posed an unexpected complication. “While some interior contractors might have had second thoughts, our expertise allows us to find creative solutions, ensuring timely completion and quality.”
3,000 m² design
experience
Spanning over 3,000 m², the Leolux Experience Center is both functional and inspiring. The balanced use of warm materials and streamlined design creates a professional yet inviting space. For an added touch of warmth, the digital catalog is framed with felt made from recycled PET bottles. The advice tables have recessed LCD monitors that rise from the beautifully finished tabletop and—beneath the Thomas Trum artwork—visitors can leaf through hundreds of swatches in the sample library to create their dream Leolux furniture.
