Todus by Studio Segers
Studio Segers is a design studio that, in addition to product development, also focuses on architecture and graphic design.
Bob Segers says, “architecture is an important source of inspiration for us. We believe that our furniture serves architecture. As it stands out, it can emphasise architecture and give it an extra touch, for example through colour. Or by having a minimal presence and letting the architecture or space speak for itself.
Many regularly ask us what our signature style or look is at Studio Segers. We try to break free from certain formal styles. We adopt a very unique approach to our assignments. Specific materials, finishes or production techniques are chosen at an early stage in the design process. We approach each design as if it were our first. Aesthetics are the result of thorough research that also focuses on the context, and can start from a briefing as well as from your own ideology.
We do not have any preferred materials or techniques, because we always try to pinpoint the customer’s identity and style. This way of working results in the use of a variety of materials and techniques.
In addition to form, proportion and function, the right colour, fabric or finish is also what makes or breaks the furniture. We create colour palettes for our furniture, collections and brand. These ensure that the items form a consistent range that can be nicely integrated into projects.
It is not easy to put together colour combinations or palettes. Small nuances make for big differences. The extensive range of Axalta powder coatings and the personal guidance of the colour experts enable us to find the right solution time and time again.
The Axalta Colour Experience Room has become indispensable for us to put together our colour palettes. The colour nuance, gloss level or structure is difficult to choose or to compare through printed sample books. Placing real colour samples next to each other greatly facilitates this process.
Walking into the Colour Experience Room you feel a bit like a child in a large sweets shop. You spontaneously start combining colours and textures. It goes without saying that this results in surprising and fascinating combinations. It’s so inspiring. A real must.
Our head functions like a sponge. Nature, the city, an image on Instagram, music, books, architecture, experiences, ... everything can inspire us, including the vibes magazine. We try to absorb as many impressions as possible, which are then consciously or unconsciously translated into unique concepts.“
