About Flock

The “Flock” furniture collection draws on the idea that home is a place of comfort, sanctuary, and gathering and should be filled with personalized, character-rich, and eye-catching statement objects.

Soft, voluptuous, sensual forms, natural materials, and pleasant-to-the-touch surfaces reflect a desire for warmth and cocooning.

“Subtly curved artistic silhouettes, soft fabric, and wooden legs define the furniture’s relaxation and cuteness. We wanted to create furniture that would become part of the family, intimate and beloved,” – said Kateryna Sokolova, designer of the Flock collection.

The name “Flock,” which means “to move or come together,” refers to the collection’s role as a peaceful oasis and the main meeting space within the home.

Visser & Meijwaard is a design studio by Steven Visser (1985) and Vera Meijwaard (1988) founded in 2013 in Arnhem, The Netherlands. The designer duo creates distinct but minimalistic products of which versatile materials and clear shapes constitute the essence. In their designs they are guided by distinctive details and the way in which the product is constructed. From the archetypical gym buck to the super functional camping closet, Visser and Meijwaard use their characteristic features and find new ways to apply them.
