PLANQ - Experience design 

Design studio PLANQ was founded by the twin brothers Anton & Dennis Teeuw. Together they design and make design furniture and interiors from residual and renewable materials. As young innovators, they believe in the power of what design can do. PLANQ is one of the "Sustainable Young 100 innovators of Holland" and stands for bringing together both sustainable innovation and environmental awareness.     

PLANQ offers designer furniture under the REZIGN label. These furniture are made from natural fibers, such as hemp and flax, jute waste bags from the cocoa and coffee industry. PLANQ also makes innovative design furniture from old company clothing and denim.

As a clothing brand, Silvercreek has the vision to create a brand for women and men with a strong authentic character, combining history and creativity in a contemporary way, resulting in an original and innovative collection.

PLANQ and Silvercreek therefore do not see old jeans as waste, but rather as a raw material for making renewed products. The common goal is to raise awareness among their target group and to reduce the impact on the environment. With only 1 chair made from recycled denim, up to 10 kilos of waste and 16,275 liters of water are saved. In this way, PLANQ and Silvercreek close the chain and contribute to a better world for tomorrow. 

The limited Silvercreek x PLANQ chairs (and other design products) will soon be available exclusively in the Silvercreek Flagship store Breda and online at silvercreek.nl.
