From Eindhoven to Brussels. Two dates with design.
Sancal designs take part in two initiatives exploring different facets of design culture. From textile experimentation to the celebration of two decades of creative talent, both projects bring pieces from our collection into settings that invite us to discover them from a fresh perspective.
Dutch Design Week × BYBORRE.
During Dutch Design Week, textile brand ByBorre organised a tour of several venues across Eindhoven to showcase its fabrics and collaborations with designers. Among them is its work with UNS, with whom it has developed three textiles.
The collaboration also features a Gradas M sofa, designed by UNS’s product design team. Sancal has loaned the piece for the occasion, upholstered in ByBorre’s Rovin fabric.

ICONS. 20 years of designer of the year.
The first Designer of the Year award was presented in Belgium in 2006. Twenty years on, it has become a benchmark in the country’s contemporary design scene. To mark its twentieth edition, MAD Brussels brings together all twenty award-winning designers in an exhibition spanning different disciplines, from product and lighting design to ceramics and jewellery.
Among the designers featured is Sylvain Willenz, whose work for Sancal includes the Totem and Body collections. For the occasion, Sancal has loaned a Body Cantilever chair in a monochrome Menta finish, joining the exhibition’s celebration of two decades of creativity, innovation and Belgian design.
