Dura Vermeer Inspiration Centre

A new home for staff and customers

“Furnify contributed by arranging a large amount of beautiful second life furniture items, which perfectly complete the design for Dura Vermeer,” says Sabrina van Dongen, Circular Accelerator @Furnify.
D/DOCK & Furnify designed the Dura Vermeer Inspiration Centre as a professional, contemporary networking space where co-creation, collaboration and learning are the focus activities. It’s the new home for the Railinfra-division and the Construction&Real Estate-division. The environment consists of two building parts, which are connected by a transparent reception area with open stairs. The teams created inspiration spaces, meeting corners and comfortable workplaces.
In close collaboration with D/DOCK, MONK, MOSS, Workbrands and Lightboxx and of course Dura Vermeer.

A sneak peak in the re-energize area where these chairs with their reupholstered settings perfectly match this greenery jungle.

In this informal meeting setting we merge Dura Vermeers furniture with the rescued furniture Furnify found.


Materials are important: textures, finishings, all in a very clean way so the shaping of the furniture comes out well.


Different seatings offer the Dura Vermeer employees a wide variety of work spots

This campfire space has so many functionalities: listening, presenting, discussing, share experiences with each other... The bike chairs which came from previous Dura Vermeer office, the stools have their 3rd life already within this office.

If we tell you this furniture is reclaimed, would you believe us?





Each floor has its own cosy setting where one can have a quick informal meeting with colleagues.
