About
An
introduction
We are Bart van Seggelen and Valérie Boerma, together with our team we are interpreters; fluent in spaces, stories, and design. Our legacy in product, fashion, and strategy, shapes a unique viewpoint; one where we can translate an emotion or value into a physical space that truly speaks to you.
“I give them the freedom to create and they always surprise me. This is why they’ve designed my sneaker stores and my executive suite. They create spaces that ignite the imagination.”
Our design signature is rooted in contrast: brutalist yet minimal, rhythmic while at ease. The first step is defining a sweeping architectural gesture that forms a project’s identity. From there, we articulate this through shape, color, texture, and one-of-a-kind pieces that prompt conversation.
We draw on the building’s heritage, its surroundings, and local artists to craft unexpected solutions that are human, environmentally considerate, and ever-authentic.
“Barde vanVoltt have the ability to understand the needs of the client easily. Combining their philosophy, our needs and molt it into this incredible design that is outstanding, timeless, and most of all gives the house the identity it deserves. ”
Our specialties are luxury projects for clients and in-house property developments worldwide, where we craft a complete Barde vanVoltt experience from the ground up.
Our work has been featured in Elle Decoration, Dezeen, and Dwell; and nominated for awards from ArchDaily and Dwell. Valérie was also a jury member for the 2021 Frame Awards.
