Hostility versus kindness, industrial versus craft.



Lace Fence gives new insights in how we can create new environments.

ABOUT US

We are plain but love the impossible.
We respect the old but want the new.
We want to challenge, confront the normal, the accepted, the expected.

We believe in fusing talented writers,
filmmakers, artists, and scientists
into a movement that will go beyond ego;
That will create a super story teller.

As designers we feel not limited to only one category.
We work with museums, architecture-, furniture- and fashion companies,
to commercial brands and self-initiated projects.
But wherever the starting point is,
challenging and beautiful products are always our aim.
