DISCOVER OUR STORY

It all started with love for lighting

LET'S TAKE A LOOK BACK

Hold on a moment, we're just quickly pushing the office chairs aside because in 2025, we need space to celebrate. And not just in our offices. In all Wever & Ducé showrooms and warehouses, this year it's: Time to Party! After all, you only turn 40 once, and we want everyone who loves Belgian design to be part of it. So, start practicing some new dance moves and get ready for amazing events, breathtaking new collections, and beautifully designed classics. Meanwhile, we’ll keep decorating.

AND MORE ABOUT US

"Let's start a startup." This is how Wever & Ducré's story would begin today. But when Frank Deceuninck decided in 1985 to launch his own lighting collection, the term had not even been invented yet. What did exist was his love for extraordinary design, with which he wanted to conquer the world from Roeselare.

ABOUT US

Sounds like Wever & Ducré

40 YEARS IN A POEM

At Wever & Ducré, we work with light, with enthusiasm and with expertise. But above all, with creative minds from around the world. That’s how, over the past 40 years, we’ve found our way into countless homes and hearts. 

Proud of our journey and grateful for the people who made it possible, we want to say a heartfelt thank you. To our team, to our partners and to our customers with a poem we created together. 

Design, art and colours

With love and design

FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD

Wever & Ducré glaubt an Vielfalt – bei Leuchten und bei Menschen. Im Creative Lab in Barcelona, Spanien, arbeitet das Forschungs- und Entwicklungsteam an den Designs von morgen. Sowohl interne als auch externe Designer: innen aus aller Welt finden sich dafür zusammen. Ideen kennen schließlich keine Grenzen!  

Zugleich bewahrt das Unternehmen auch sein belgisches Erbe, zum Beispiel mit Design von Jules Wabbes. Tradition küsst Innovation, Bewährtes bleibt in Bewegung – so freut sich Wever & Ducré über alles, das schon ist und alles, das noch kommt!  

Art that covers it all

BY STREET ARTISTS ALL OVER THE WORLD

Every year, Wever & Ducré invites a new street artist to design the cover of our catalogue — turning each edition into a bold piece of art. The artist gets one clear starting point: our yearly trend colours, inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year. From there, they bring their own story, energy and style to the mix — transforming colour into creativity. It all began in Berlin with the vibrant work of Peach Beach. Since then, artists from around the world have each left their mark on our visual identity. To celebrate 40 years of Wever & Ducré, we’re putting the spotlight back on these unique collaborations. Curious to see how design, street art and colour came together?

Just our type of colour

OUR FAVOURITE SHADES THROUGH THE YEARS

At Wever & Ducré, we don’t just think in shapes and light – we also think in colour. Every year, a fresh set of trend colours sets the tone in design, guided by the Pantone trend colours of the year. These shades don't just influence interiors, fashion and objects, but help shape the visual language that surrounds our products.

Discover the colours that shaped the look and feel of our Belgian lighting brand over the past decades. Because good design starts with the right atmosphere - and colour is where it begins.

Discover our values

IT'S A WAY OF THINKING

What does Wever & Ducré stand for? No, it’s not the name of someone important – it’s what makes us us. Five Dutch words that reflect our values and heritage: Hard work (WERklust), trust (VERtrouwen), enthusiasm (ENthousiasm), courage (DUrf) and a good dose of creativity (CREativiteit).

How does it sound?
