BULTIN

Bultin was founded in 2015 by siblings Glenn and Sylvie Buydaert.

Bio

Their first product was the BUL. lamp: an atmospheric carbon filament lamp in a coloured steel tube on a concrete base. Its luminous design was an immediate success. In the meantime, the BUL. fixture has been standardised to three different heights, always available in a wide range of colours. But bultin also makes tailor-made designs. Adaptations can be made, for example, to the height or colour of the fixture or the concrete base in accordance with the wishes of the client or (interior) architect.

The further exploration of material options resulted in the BEN., a bench supported by a coloured steel frame as well. With the introduction of the SOL. vases, bultin. took the first step towards a series of decorative objects. The polycarbonate design is now available in eight different colours and two sizes. In collaboration with Hullebusch, a natural stone specialist from Ardooie, three characterful, graceful materials have now been added.

Natural stone by @hullebusch_naturalstone

When the West Flemish design label bultin. launched SOL. their choice was clear: flower over bouquet. After all, the cylindrical vases almost manifested themselves as pedestals for a minimalist play of stems and leaves, or branches with bud or flower. Brother and sister Glenn and Sylvie Buydaert drilled two or five tubes into solid polycarbonate from which the flowers can sip water. Now SOL.02 and SOL.05 – their names dependent on the number of boreholes – have been made available in three natural stones: sandcoloured Travertin Chambolle, burgundy ‘Autumn Leaf’ honed marble, and grey-brown Pierre de Varennes natural stone. A collaboration with Hullebusch.
