About VANTOT & Jesse

VANTOT
Street lighting that searches for the sun itself, and many other intriguing light installations: that is Studio VANTOT by Esther Jongsma and Sam van Gurp. They met at the Design Academy Eindhoven. After their graduation, they joined forces and combined their love for light and movement. Nowadays, they shine their light far beyond our borders, for clients at home and abroad. 

Jesse Goyvaerts
Three brilliant chefs in one family? That's the Goyvaerts family. Together with brothers Jip and Yelle, Jesse Goyvaerts creates magical dishes at Victoria by Goyvaerts and restaurant Goyvaerts. In their careers, Jesse has worked in many starred kitchens, including that of Jacob Jan Boerma.

On the collaboration

Light is an essential pacesetter in both the studio of VANTOT and the restaurants of Jesse Goyvaerts and his brothers. Not surprisingly, a light bulb went off when they sat at the drawing table—the result: a luminous plate that puts the carefully selected ingredients in the spotlight.
