Transparency of the production chain comes naturally to us.

For us, that doesn't just mean giving information about where something has been produced. Our chain starts much earlier: with the designer of the product!

We'll tell you the whole story. Click on the buttons to discover the different steps:

The Solid Hooks are designed by Max Lipsey. For Max, design equals the challenge to make an originally industrial process more spontaneous and lively. His work stems from his own fascinations around crafts and production techniques with a predilection for steel. The Solid Hooks are a good example of this.

"The inspiration for this product came from an industrially produced copper tube and the ways you can deform it. This reminded me of the shape of the famous functional wooden coat hooks of the Shakers.“

Max Lipsey

Max first started working in his own workshop, which gave the product an intuitive design. But in the process, he did not lose sight of his fascination for production techniques on a larger scale. His intervention resulted in beautiful, functional objects.

The Solid Hooks have been part of the Vij5 collection since 2016. They excel in their simplicity because they are made of a pure and solid material. This purity is what immediately appealed to us.

"The Solid Hooks are practical and decorative at the same time and are actually a nice addition to any interior: everything that hangs on them immediately gets a stylish look!"

Arjan & Anieke

For example, give your favourite items from your wardrobe extra attention in your bedroom or create a nice spot in the bathroom for your bathrobe. In the kitchen, create a sophisticated detail by hanging your tea towel, hand towel or TwoTowel on the smallest hook. And of course, the Solid Hooks also make for a super stylish hallway: for example, combine different sizes for a playful effect!

The first Solid Hooks were available in copper. Soon, a brass version followed. In 2018, we introduced a version made of tempered steel.

Tempering steel is normally applied to increase the elasticity and plasticity of the material. When steel is heated past 200 °C, it undergoes a wild transformation of colors. Therefore, Solid Hooks is not tempered to improve the elasticity of the steel, but to create beautiful colors!

The Solid Hooks are CNC turned from solid copper, brass or steel. This base of the Solid Hooks is made by a producer in the Eindhoven region, after which the items are further processed by Max in his studio in Eindhoven.

In the case of the copper and brass version, the wall hooks are sanded. In the case of the steel version, the wall hooks are tempered by Max.

Tempering steel is a technique that Max has continued to develop and apply manually to his products. The color palette of the tempered Solid Hooks arises from the base material and varies from piece to piece making each hook unique.

The Solid Hooks then arrive ready-made in our studio, after which we do a bit of quality control and pack the wall hooks in a nice box.

In the material passport you can find where and by whom the different parts of this product are made.

Factoid: tempering is a heat treatment in which steel is heated to a certain temperature and then slowly cooled down. The exact temperature and the specific composition of the alloy determine the colour of the final product. When steel is heated beyond 200°C, it undergoes a wild transformation of colors and actually becomes a kind of thermometer where the color represents the height of the temperature.
