About Baan Collection

For more than 25 years, I've worked as a commercial photographer, travelling the world to create campaigns for international brands. My profession has taken me to design studios, museums, architecture, and inspiring interiors across Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Photography taught me to look beyond the obvious. Light, shape, balance, craftsmanship, and the smallest details have always mattered to me. That same trained eye is what led me to start collecting vintage design.

Baan Collection is a reflection of that passion.

Every piece is personally selected for its design, authenticity, condition, and timeless character. I don't aim to build the biggest collection, but a carefully curated one featuring iconic furniture and lighting that deserves a second life.

I believe great design is more than something you own—it is something you experience every day. The right piece transforms a space, tells a story, and often becomes more valuable over time.

Whether you're an experienced collector or buying your very first design piece, I want you to feel confident in your purchase. Transparency, honest descriptions, careful sourcing, and personal service are at the heart of everything I do.

Welcome to Baan Collection.
