The Stout Verlichting team: seven people and a little dog side by side in front of a green hedge

Since 1988, Loenen aan de Vecht

From pencil
to ceiling

Stout designs and makes lighting in small quantities, since 1988. Here you can see how a lamp comes into being with us, and who handles it along the way.

At the drawing board

Hans StoutManaging director

Every lamp begins with pencil on paper. Hans travels the world, preferably off the beaten track, in search of new ideas, materials and concepts, and brings them to a design at the drawing board in Loenen.
