Frequently asked questions

What is Zuiver?

Zuiver is a Dutch brand founded in 2008 in Bunschoten. The brand positioned itself in contemporary design furniture at accessible prices, with a strategy of mass production at controlled cost. The Zuiver spirit can be summed up in a few words: democratised contemporary design, complete furniture ranges, value for money. The brand produces furniture for every room in the house: dining tables, chairs, sofas, armchairs, beds, desks, coffee tables, shelving, lighting. The catalogue is very broad (more than 1,500 active references). Production takes place mainly in Asia (China, Vietnam, Indonesia) with Dutch quality control. The Zuiver style covers several registers: industrial loft (black metal, reclaimed wood), pared-back Scandinavian (light oak, soft shapes), contemporary boho (rattan, woven seagrass, organic shapes). This diversity allows Zuiver to furnish any type of interior. Now present in more than 40 countries, Zuiver remains a very popular brand in Europe for first design purchases. The Cool Republic distributes Zuiver in France.

Which Zuiver pieces should you go for?

Several categories stand out at Zuiver. The office chairs and dining chairs in metal and wood (OMG, Albert Kuip and BACK to BACK collections) are bestsellers. The OMG armchairs (industrial vintage) have furnished millions of homes across Europe since 2010. The dining tables in oak or patinated metal (Storm, Glimps and Brace collections) bring character at reasonable prices. The Lazy Sack sofas and armchairs (in corduroy velvet or washed fabric) are comfortable and on-trend. On the lighting side, the woven rattan pendants (Damar and Largo collections) and industrial floor lamps (Lesley, Read) are in high demand. Occasional furniture (consoles, dressers, Storm shelving) completes the range. Zuiver's strength: a very comprehensive catalogue that makes it possible to furnish a first home at accessible prices, with decent stylistic coherence. To get started with Zuiver: choose your style (industrial, Scandinavian or boho) and stay within the same family to ensure visual consistency.

Is Zuiver worth it for a first design purchase?

Yes, it's one of the best options for a first design purchase or a tight budget. For OMG chairs (industrial vintage), expect 90-180 euros per chair. A 180 cm oak dining table costs around 600-1,100 euros. A 3-seater Lazy Sack sofa sells for 800-1,500 euros. An industrial floor lamp costs 150-300 euros. Overall, that's 50-70% cheaper than high-end Scandinavian brands for visually comparable pieces. Build quality is decent (Asian production with quality control), not on a par with European handcrafting, but more than sufficient for normal domestic use. Lifespan is around 5-10 years compared with 15-25 years for premium brands, which remains reasonable given the price. To make the most of your budget: use Zuiver for structural furniture (tables, chairs, sofa) and invest in 1-2 signature pieces from premium brands (a Flowerpot pendant by &Tradition, an Egg Chair by Fritz Hansen) to add character. This strategy delivers a coherent design interior on a reasonable budget.
