In 2021 Spectrum was founded 75 years ago as the daughter of weaving mill De Ploeg. To mark the occasion, Spectrum has reissued four classic, timeless designs from its history, including the “Utrecht” wall shelf that Constant designed for Spectrum in 1956 and the “IJhorst” stool from 1954. The new collection, called Spectrum Accessories Collection, was given a contemporary colour scheme by Studio RENS.

Spectrum & Constant
Shortly after Martin Visser was appointed head of design at Spectrum, he asked Constant to create new designs for the furniture collection. Visser had been working with Constant during his time at De Bijenkorf where he applies both art and colour schemes from Constant in his exhibitions in the furniture department.
The “IJhorst” table series designed by Constant in 1953 turned out to be a success and was included in the collection again in 2015. Constant also designed a number of wall shelves, including the “Utrecht” model, which was also included to the new Spectrum Accessories Collection.
Design Classics with a New Twist
Spectrum Design commissioned Studio RENS to create a new colour scheme for their accessories line of classical design objects. Other accessories in the collection were designed by world-renowned Dutch designers Benno Premsela and Friso Kramer. The Spectrum Accessories Collection collection highlights the solid value of leading design and celebrates the essence of functionality, ingenuity and attention to detail. An ode to the object.
The collection is available online and via selected retailers. See the website of Spectrum Design for more information, the other designs in the Accessories Collection and to view their regular collection.
