Box with Lid Oval

That which the English describe as ‘stuff’, the Italian’s refer to so much more nicely as ‘Cose’. All sorts of different things. That’s precisely what designer Bertrand Joly wanted to achieve with his collection: a variety of accessories that can be used in many different ways.

 

While the first impression of this collection may be that of bathroom accessories, the bowls, jars, and soap dispenser can also be perfectly translated into other rooms and functions. “I see them just as well in the kitchen, where the jars can be used for the aperitif, or as storage containers. The soap dispenser is also of added value in the kitchen. What makes this a remarkable collection is that it is not limited to the bathroom at all,” explains Lejoly.

 

Each grey box with a porcelain lid is expertly handmade, giving each piece a distinctive character. Bertrand Lejoly's design vision is reflected in this collection's flowing hues and timeless oval design.

As this item is handmade, there may be slight variations for every product. These are what gives the product its unique, handcrafted touch - hence does not count as a defect.

Serax was founded by two brothers, Serge and Axel Van Den Bossche, in 1986. Based in Belgium but with a global reach and outlook, they create contemporary homeware in collaboration with leading international designers and makers, bound together by a shared vision of elevating everyday spaces.

 

Every Serax object is a balance of aesthetics and function. From the smallest to the largest, each one becomes a treasured object that can last for generations: a work of art in its own right.

After studying at the École supérieure des arts Saint-Luc in Liège, and several years of work experience in Germany and Italy, Bertrand Lejoly joined Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen as Head of Product Design in 2013. In 2018, he founded his own design studio in Antwerp.

 

He describes his style as ‘refined simplicity’. His objects walk the boundary between an expressive yet subtle design language. He especially likes to play with elements that are engraved in the collective memory to create timeless items for everyday use.
