Sweden and Denmark - Part I

What a journey. Meeting the kind, wise, and deeply driven professionals at the forefront of preserving Europe’s original window culture brought us nothing less than pure joy, and a renewed sense of purpose in our shared mission.

A heartfelt thank you to @gantelius_fonsterhantverk for his thoughts, time, and contagious enthusiasm. If only we could clone both him and his extraordinary place.

The next day, we found ourselves at @allbackpaint , immersed in conversation with Michael, Hans, and Sonja. We dove into the world of high-quality natural paints and the value of knowledge. Their work reminded us how important it is to keep asking critical questions in pursuit of a better, more natural future.

History is alive - and we’re learning from it every step of the way. More to come in our mailing updates. Stay tuned.

Humbled to play once again the smallest of roles in preserving the enduring epos of this remarkable building. Since the time of Albrecht van Beieren, it has been the decor upon which centuries of culture and conversation have unfolded. ‘Parleren’ - to speak, to share, to listen - has long been its soul, connecting voices from across Europe in this timeless icon of The Hague.

Photographer Anne Eeckeman beautifully captured the emotions of the historic tannery @lamanufactureroyaledelectoure. You feel the value of the light and warmth of the interior spaces and why glass designed for the context of heritage is so important, highlighting the diversity of our historic built heritage.

Icon Rem Koolhaas at the office.

His long quest for the clearest and most historically correct glass ended surprisingly when he successfully walked out of Van Ruysdael’s office.

The timeless performance of our window glass continues to this day in the windows of Rem.

We wanted to let you know we're about to begin an exciting new prospect in wrought iron in Denmark, which should be a fantastic opportunity for us. It shows a lot of resemblance with the building we have completed in 2010, next to Opéra - Paris. A marvellous example of Art Nouveau, where architect Bocage explored the new possibilities in metal, structurally and aesthetically.

We’re excited to see the overwhelming response to the restored W.M. DUDOK fuel station in Groningen. Its defining feature ‘extreme transparency’ through nearly invisible glass, highlights both its architectural beauty and its forward-thinking design. This restoration sets a new standard for sustainability, merging history with innovation. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re missing a truly remarkable experience.

'Het oude wordt nooit oud' is het motto dat ons al jaren verbindt. Heel veel dank Gerard en Betty van Happylift Lemmer voor het behoud van vakmanschap, ambacht en voor dit unieke geschenk. Het eerste ruitje uit het voormalig stadhuis Amsterdam is een mooi aandenken aan onze lange samenwerking en prachtige schuifraam restauraties.

As it should(n’t) be

At the end of 2006, the French glass manufacturer Saint Just approached Van Ruysdael with a bold vision: to combine their mouth-blown glass with the HPI vacuum glass that Van Ruysdael was supplying at the time.

The aim? To provide historical windows with unparalleled insulation.

The people behind the glass are often just as intriguing as the historical window itself. It tells a story of care and attention. Their experiences go back generations, and we ensure that many generations will follow. We come together where people care.

Rembrandt, d’Hondecoeter, Jan Steen, and the rest of the extensive art collection are well protected following the restoration of the empire-style windows at @museumbredius , which is located right across the pond from the @mauritshuis_museum where Abraham Bredius served as director for over 20 years.

The start of Van Ruysdael

After an in-depth analysis in 1999, Michel Trompert concluded that well-functioning window glass is not determined by the lowest U-value.

Our further development of the then 350-year-old sliding window, named ‘WinTwin’, was awarded a patent and received recognition from Good Industrial Design. This was the result of a solution to a specific problem of that time.

"I've come from the same era as the founding year of #CocaCola. I have witnessed the North Sea freeze many times. I've outlived (color) trends. Fortunately, quite literally, I've stayed out of reach from modern-day misconceptions of sustainability and insulation dogmas. And still, I am in better shape than modern-day alternatives !

In good hands, and by exchanging experiences and knowledge with like-minded individuals across Europe, I can live to see another two centuries. Yours truly, a Leiden Sash from 1886." -@vanruysdael

Almost always, the predominant energy efficiency labels neglect the essential qualities linked to window preservation. Health, light and beauty consistently (and historically!) outweigh these labels in terms of importance.
