Vij5 podcast – TRANSLATE

In the Vij5 podcast Arjan van Raadshooven and Anieke Branderhorst (founders of Vij5) invite you into their world by starting a conversation with each other and various people from their network!

Episode 3 – Step 3 of “ Vij5 ”: Translate

In this episode, Arjan and Anieke sit down for a conversation to explore the topic “Translate” in greater depth.

You can listen to this podcast (in Dutch) on various platforms via Anchor.fm (by Spotify) or directly via the link below:

“From our studio and showroom in Eindhoven, we serve as a bridge between Designers, creators, and buyers. In doing so, we always follow five key steps.”

Translate "This is the third step in our process: turning a concept into a finished product requires a translation. We ensure that the designer and the maker(s) remain closely involved throughout this process."

“In this podcast, we explain why ‘Translate’ is the central phase of our process and how we play a unifying role in it.”

Arjan & Anieke

“Some Designers are already quite far along when we get in touch with them. In those cases, we just work together to put the finishing touches on the project. But sometimes we’re involved at an earlier stage of the design process, and in those cases, we provide input right from the start. That’s actually what we enjoy the most…”

During the translation of a concept, our choices are not based on price, but on content. We are persistent and supportive when it comes to product development and we don't give up easily!

Often, we persuade a manufacturer to try something new to ensure that a product turns out as the designer intended. This often puts us at the cutting edge of the possibilities within a material or technique: in our view, the moment where development and innovation occur.

In this podcast, we explain why “Translate” is the central phase of our process and how we play a unifying role in it.
