Creative director Arco In 2015 we will celebrate our 110th anniversary. As the fourth generation, I am now at the helm of our family company. Supported by more than 50 committed professionals – a combination of people who have worked for us for years and enthusiastic newcomers – I am continuing to build on the foundations laid by my ancestors. We are in constant development, in constant movement – during the past few years, it was the ideal time to move the dot on the horizon.

A visit at the factory in Winterswijk by Marianne van Dodewaard Arco was founded over one hundred years ago in Winterswijk by the great-grandfather of Jorre van Ast, who is the current director. It all began as a simple frame-making firm and has now grown into one of the best equipped wood processing factories in the Netherlands. Together with international designers, and a small army of motivated craftsmen, we create a furniture collection that is distributed across the globe. Tables are our greatest strength. Tables for working, eating and drinking at or even for dancing on - they are...

Naam: Joop Nijenhuis Leeftijd: 52 jaar Werkzaam bij Arco: 28 jaar Functie: Machinaal houtbewerker. “Ik sta aan het begin van het proces, zoek het hout uit, zaag het op maat en verlijm het tot blad.” Joop is daarmee het oog van Arco, hij bepaalt in grote mate hoe een product er uit gaat zien. Favoriet Arco meubel: “De ronde Base tafel, mooie combinatie van hout met beton.” Hobby’s: “Ik speel bariton in de harmonie en in een dweilorkest.” Arco is niet van vandaag of gisteren, maar werd al meer dan honderd jaar geleden in Winterswijk opgericht door de overgrootvader van Jorre van Ast, die nu...

Drawer table Ineke Hans Homes no longer follow the lounge + dining room + kitchen formula. The various living uses flow into each other more and more, which puts different demands on the furniture. Tables in particular have to be multi-talented; they not only have to be a traditional kitchen table but a desk, work bench, meeting place and dining table as well… and sometimes all at the same time. The Drawer table is one of those all-rounders. It looks like a simple, modern table, but it hides an impressive secret: virtually invisible drawers that are small enough to not have to compromise on...

Grid Dining Jonathan Prestwich Because of the oval shape, Grid Dining offers users the best of both worlds: the practicality of a rectangular table and the social aspect of a round one. The materials and colors – solid oak, American walnut or Corian® combined with an aluminium structure – give the table a natural and friendly character. Grid Dining biedt door de ovale vorm ‘the best of both worlds’: het praktische van een rechthoekige tafel en het sociale van een ronde. Het materiaal- en kleurgebruik – massief eiken, Amerikaans noten of Corian® in combinatie met een aluminium constructie –...

De ovale vorm van deze tafel zorgt voor een mooie combinatie van...

Interview Bertjan Pot by Marianne van Dodewaard The Dutch designer Bertjan Pot first came into contact with Arco in 2005 within the context of the Arco12 project. On the occasion of its centenary, Arco invited twelve young Dutch designers to respond to the collection and the company through the medium of design. The result of all this was an interesting exhibition at Arnhem’s Municipal Museum with Arco afterwards putting some of the designs into production. In preparation for this project, the participants were invited to familiarise themselves with the company. It was then that Bertjan,...
