Voyeur Furniture
Voyeur Furniture is an antique store with two branches in Amsterdam that sells unique vintage furniture. The store, a majestic building in the Pijp area recognizable by its large window and classic French double front door with a lion’s head above, can be visited by appointment only.
They needed a new custom made website that conveyed their simple but playfull branding.

The Approach
Create a website that serves as a showcase for antique furniture. The purpose is for customers to make an appointment to view and purchase the product in 1 of the 2 two stores.
After making the appointment, the customer will receive a professionally formatted confirmation email with further contact information.
The style & feeling should be simple, but with creative and subtle details that emphasizes the mysterious yet playful feel of Voyeur.
Menu Blinds Animation
The menu icon is a custom (SVG) drawing of a louver, which animates using CSS.
Custom Google Maps Integration
A characteristic of Voyeur is their binocle that you can see in their logo and sticked on their window. The Google Maps map is formatted in the same binocle.
Version 2.0
After Voyeur’s website launched, they needed a significant change. Voyeur relies on Instagram to showcase and sell vintage furniture, with each piece sold only once. Posting products on both Instagram and the website became a hassle.
To simplify, I removed the collection page and added Instagram integration on the homepage. Now, visitors can directly access Voyeur’s Instagram page from the website, saving time and effort as products only need to be posted on Instagram. They also wanted a custom homepage, shown below.
