whenobjectswork

whenobjectswork is a Belgian company that produces and distributes exclusive objects, built on the vision of its owner Beatrice Delafontaine. The first collection was launched at the Milan Furniture Fair in 2001, developing the theme of decorative art as beautiful domestic equipment for everyday life.

Every object is handcrafted, using a whole range of materials and production methods, and the catalogue is put together with designers and architects whose work shares a preoccupation with simple forms, immaculate function and a timeless idiom. That list includes John Pawson, Vincent Van Duysen, Marcio Kogan, Jean-Michel Wilmotte, Bataille-Ibens, Nicolas Schuybroek and Guillaume Lopez, each selected individually by the company.
