At Van Herran, we believe in timeless, elegant and tactful design that does not compromise functionality and ease of use.
With the help of meticulous studies of user behaviors, socio-economic trends, market dynamics,product manufacturing and each client’s unique branding we craft and tailor each and everyproduct concept to you.
The dream that lies at the center of our every project is to create generational designs, pieces that can trespass time as they get passed on generation after generation.
We believe that it is avital way through which to respond to our fast paced world; a way to let memories live on keepstories alive. This is why we prioritize quality, function and materiality.
The Beyond Collection was born from a wish to bridge the indoor and outdoor living spaces forspaces of any size. It started from an intuition about outdoor kitchen’s not only serving a functional purpose butrather representing a hub for social interaction followed by the ambition of rendering it a real entertainment hotspot.
Simultaneously, we ideated on ways to differentiate the kitchen in the market while paying tributeto the client’s expertise: bend stainless steel sheet cabinetry. We contrasted the raw, highly performant, heavy-duty stainless steel of the handles to coloredcabinetry doors.

The Beyond Collection is visually striking for its elegance and harmonious look thanks to its linearity and seamless feel. This illusion is of linearity is created by the large stainless steel handles reaching across the entire cabinet width and reinforced by the lack of visible legs in
between the cabinets.
Besides its linearity, the open storage also adds to the kitchen’s elegance by making the kitchen look visually lighter and counterbalancing the stainless steel’s heavy perception. This was further emphasized thanks to the natural patterns, giving the viewer the illusion that the kitchen is not made out of metal and perceptually tying the kitchen to the outdoor environment.
We are two upcoming designers from Europe and are based in Milan and Madrid.
We met during our studies at the Instituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Milan and have developedthe Beyond Collection during our final year of Bachelor’s in collaboration with Danver Stainless Steel Outdoor Kitchen and under the guidance of Daniel Germani and the tutoring of Attila Vares.
At our young age, we have managed to capture the attention and interest of both Daniel Germaniand Danver Stainless Steel Outdoor Kitchen and are proud to announce our collaboration withthem to bring this project to life. We are beyond grateful for the opportunity that we are givenand excited to see the results of this fruitful collaboration.
