Design lives on
Vintage design made to live on.
Vintage Design Center brings objects, people and places together. One strong brand above local centres that keep their own character, participants and programme.
Objects with another chapter
Not an endless catalogue. Design with context.
A chair should be tried, ceramics deserve a closer look and a sound system should be heard. Vintage Design Center connects physical places, independent participants and a straightforward digital route.
01
One recognisable brand
Central quality and discoverability connect locations without erasing local identity.
02
Local entrances
Each location receives its own visit, collection, event and participant pages.
03
Ready to grow
New locations can be added as independent modules and technically detached later.

Movements, materials and moods
From glamorous salons to experimental workspaces.
No single style defines VDC. Hollywood Regency, Space Age, Brutalism, Pop Art and post-war modernism can share the same story. Art establishes atmosphere here; only separately published objects are offered for sale.

Brutalist modernism
Concrete · leather · sculptural geometry
Home + office forms
Plywood · aluminium · post-war utility
A closer look
The material tells the story too.
Patina, joints, sheen and texture can say as much as a silhouette. These atmosphere studies focus on the details that make people stop and look.
Smoked shell + velvet
Chrome + glass
Moulded shell + light
Leather + steel + stone
Wood + aluminium
Sound + ceramics + graphic art

Choose a location
Zandhoven: compact, local and rich in stories.
Set in the former Van Beirendonck family garage, Zandhoven is not an anonymous design hall. It is an approachable address for furniture, lighting, tableware, hi-fi, vinyl, art and craft.
From kitchen to listening room
Design lives when people use it.
Space Age optimism, Hollywood Regency sparkle, restrained modernism or the exuberant seventies: Vintage Design Center lets different tastes meet and makes room for the story behind an object.
The participant stays visible.
Vintage Design Center supports the route to visits and sales. Participants remain responsible for selection, provenance, condition, description and price. No selection claim—just clearer information.
A place with potential
Do you have a building — or know a place ready for another life?
You may own a former shop, garage, showroom or warehouse. Or perhaps you have simply seen a location and thought: something special could happen here. Tell us about it.
We help investigate the opportunity: the building, audience, local operation, participant model, economics, fit-out, systems and a realistic route to opening.
