Vanderven Oriental Art
Digital elegance for exclusive Oriental art
Vanderven is an international household name in the world of Oriental art and antiques. For their new digital home, the bar was set high: an experience that honors the physical gallery in 's-Hertogenbosch. I developed a custom-made, headless solution where unique products and rich visual language are given the space they deserve.

Concept
When selling exclusive art and antiques, it's all about experience and detail. The website design is therefore minimalist yet powerful, allowing the unique objects to take center stage. By utilizing subtle animations and high-end typography, we created an online environment that exudes quality and craftsmanship – exactly the values Vanderven has stood for for decades.
Headless Performance
Behind the scenes, we opted for a modern headless architecture. By decoupling the frontend from the content management system, we were able to build a website that is lightning fast and delivers optimal SEO performance. This is essential for a company with a global clientele that needs to be found for specific, precious collection pieces.
Flexibility
Despite the visual complexity, a key requirement was that the website had to be easy to manage. Through integration with Prismic Headless CMS, the Vanderven team has full control over their collection. They can easily add new acquisitions and build pages with custom content slices, without compromising the sleek design and layout.
