Did you know the very first Dutchtub ever is still in use? Designer Floris Schoonderbeek built the first Dutchtub over 20 years ago. "I feel a strong need for direct contact with my surroundings. I want to experience the joy of discovering something, the feeling of independence. That`s what the Dutchtub stands for: you don`t need anything except for nature, the tub, and yourself."

Wachten ~ op de lente, met een hoofd vol ideeën… Wat duurt dat lang hé? 👀 Maandag begin ik weer met werken, na bijna 8 weken in onze babybubbel. De weken zijn echt voorbij gevlogen, maar inmiddels heb ik ook wel weer zin om aan de slag te gaan!
It can be a challenge to get the Dutchtub to reach a comfortable 38 degrees. Here`s some of our best tips: 🔥 Small pieces of wood have extra burning power. When starting the fire in the spiral, use small pieces of wood to create an extra hot fire. Once the water has reached the desired temperature, you can start using bigger pieces for a steadier fire. 🔥 Lock the heat of the fire in the spiral using the wok. 🔥 To keep the fire hot, protect it from cold winds with the Windshield.

Something a little different from what you’re used to with the Guidelight: not a flashlight for an adventurous hike or ambient lighting for an outdoor dinner, but a nightlight in the cardiology department of the Sint Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein. The nurses, better than anyone, understand how important it is for patients to sleep peacefully. That’s why they use the Guidelight to carry out their tasks without disturbing the patients’ rest. And when the workload allows for a brief moment of pause? The nightlight becomes a helpful companion for some well-deserved relaxation during the night.
The Outdooroven is turning 20 this year 🥳Twenty years ago, Dick van Hoff designed the Outdooroven from a need for small, manageable happiness and a longing for genuine connection and shared experiences. The Outdooroven embodies this appreciation for small happiness: the minimal effort of chopping your own wood to warm yourself by a fire you’ve built yourself is incomparable. And today, this remains just as relevant as it did twenty years ago.
