VIJ5

We are Arjan & Anieke, Publishers of Design Products.

Under our brand Vij5, we publish a collection of interior accessories, lighting and furniture. We do this with a lot of attention and enthusiasm. As publishers our work is content driven, prioritizing the product and the story behind it.

The basis of Vij5 is the Design of beautiful and functional products for the interior. We offer designers and makers a platform to develop, make and distribute new design products together. Our aim is to positively impact the people around us by playing an essential linking role. With the Vij5 collection, we cherish the craftsmanship of product designers.

Vij5 is represented by initiators Arjan van Raadshooven and Anieke Branderhorst. Immediately after graduating in 2006, they founded design label Vij5 in order to bring their own designs onto the market. Their most famous design is the FlexVase, for which they won a Dutch Design Award in 2009.

Together they created the basis of the product collection and a business model to distribute the products in the Netherlands and abroad. This successful working method didn’t go unnoticed by other designers in their network and gave Arjan and Anieke the idea to start helping them.

Curated by Arjan and Anieke, the Vij5 collection expands every year through collaborations between Vij5 and external designers. This makes the Vij5 collection personal and exceptional.
