Laurens de Kwant’s hobby room grew with him. Since he was a young man, this was his place. It used to be full of Lego and Playmobil here. Today he indulges himself in his new passions, music, light and special effects.

When Lorenz was 12 or 13 years old, he got his first turntable. A simple version but enough for hours of music enjoyment. In the following years, a large part of his pocket money and the money he receives on his birthday goes to the electronics store. “I’m not sure anymore, but I think a little disco light and a round disco ball were some of the first things I bought.”

Together with him he built his own DJ furniture. As it looks so cozy, there was also a round beer table and bar. Funny detail: Where you’d expect two refrigerators or, if needed, a beer keg below the bar, there’s a washer and dryer. “But if we’re having a party here, we push the shelf with the cleaner to the side and then put the beer boxes in there,” Laurens explains.

Lawrence’s father provided the Austrian details. “My dad is a big fan of Austria, and that’s why.”
