What duplex studio does

Duplex Studio SRL is a privately-held Belgian B2B furniture manufacturer headquartered in Anderlecht (Brussels) that designs and produces circular furniture collections from industrial waste and reclaimed materials. Its portfolio comprises eight proprietary collections — WD01 and WD02 (oak and birch flooring/plywood offcuts), TU01 and TU02 (reclaimed steel tubes and Trespa panels), TP01 (Trespa and acacia), PLY01 (birch plywood), and ST01/STW01 lighting (inox tubing and blue stone) — alongside custom project work for hospitality, coworking, coliving, office, and retail clients. Production is fully in-house at the Brussels workshop, spanning material sourcing from named industrial partners (Ligna System, New Laser, Arbony, Carrières de Maffle, Trespa, Acacia Poles), eco-design, prototyping, fabrication, and shipping, with up to 95% upcycled material content in flagship products.

The company operates strictly on a B2B basis with a minimum order quantity requirement and quote-based pricing, conducting sales via direct email outreach ([email protected]). Payment terms are tiered: orders under €5,000 require full payment at signature, while orders above €5,000 follow a two-installment structure with the balance due within 30 days of delivery. Customers are primarily Brussels-based hospitality SMBs complemented by enterprise accounts in coliving (Cohabs, Neybor, Sheltr), coworking (Silversquare, Le Marais 407), food markets (Wolf Food Market), and institutional dining (ULB-Erasme). Geographic reach has expanded beyond Belgium into the Netherlands, France, and Luxembourg.

Commercially, Duplex monetizes through one-time project licensing for both bespoke commissions and standardized collection sales, with no subscription or recurring revenue model. It holds Eco-Impact LCA certification on WD01 and ST01, FSC certification on wood sourcing, and be.circular Brussels certification. The company is independently owned with no disclosed external institutional funding, no parent company, and no publicly disclosed revenue. Brand visibility has been elevated through 2024-2025 participation in Maison & Objet Paris, Milan Design Week, Wonder Kortrijk, and the Belgium is Design Oslo mission.
