THE SECRET BEHIND THE DYLAN’S TIMELESS REDESIGN
At The Dylan, luxury is defined by understated elegance, enhanced by the craftsmanship of Format Furniture. Their recent redesign of the loft suites blends heritage charm with contemporary style, focusing on timeless design and premium materials.
Their approach to luxury is not about opulence but about understated elegance. This philosophy aligns seamlessly with the craftsmanship of their partners at Format Furniture, custom furniture builders co-founded by Jikke Snelleman and Floor Siteur.
Recently, Format collaborated with the interior designers at Studio Linse on the redesign of The Dylan’s loft suites, blending heritage charm with contemporary refinement. Both Jikke and Floor come from entrepreneurial backgrounds, with a deep passion for design. Jikke’s love for aesthetics and craftsmanship grew when she met Floor, a dedicated craftsman from childhood. Together, they founded Format Furniture to create interiors that prioritize longevity, quality, and timeless design.
Format Furniture strikes a balance between innovation and timelessness by focusing on high-quality craftsmanship and durable materials. Their designs are meant to last for decades, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The selection of premium materials—such as thick wood veneers, solid wood, and carefully chosen Taj Mahal quartzite—ensures both aesthetic appeal and sustainability.
Each project begins with in-depth research to understand clients' lifestyles, preferences, and functional needs. From concept development to material selection, Format ensures that each design resonates with the client’s vision. The production process involves meticulous craftsmanship, transforming design concepts into beautifully executed pieces. Format Furniture’s collaboration with The Dylan began with smaller projects but evolved into a major redesign effort in 2022. The partnership is built on shared values, as both brands are committed to quality, durability, and a refined sense of luxury. The newly refreshed suites stand as a testament to this synergy.
Despite ever-changing design trends, Format Furniture remains dedicated to creating interiors that endure. Their signature style—soft, minimal, refined, and solid—reflects their commitment to both aesthetics and functionality. Jikke’s advice for creating a timeless home? Stay true to your personal style rather than following fleeting trends. Most importantly, a home should feel warm, comfortable, and inviting—something Format Furniture strives to achieve in every project.
