Tailor-made wall decoration and sustainability high on the agenda

Inspiration book delivers unique ideas

From floor to ceiling... Tachup Deco Projects aims to make life easy for hoteliers too. "In the field of wall decoration, we are the spider in the web. In many areas, we have the solutions in-house," says director/owner Martin Groenewege. "We specialise in printing on many different surfaces, aluminium dibond, poplar wood, textiles, canvas, acrylic or HPL panels. All the hotelier has to do is express his own requirements and we can get started."

Tachup also has many contacts to fulfil other decorative requirements. "Architects and developers, associated with the hotel sector, engage with us because they trust our knowledge and clout. I sit down with them and take stock of where the need lies. The choice of material, the product, the printing technique, sustainability and price, everything is discussed. You can therefore at times consider me an intermediary between different parties. "I put things, which I can't do myself, elsewhere to ultimately achieve a desired end result for the hotelier. So we don't deliver one product, but tailor-made solutions."

When searching for the best decorative items, Martin works with producers from the Netherlands and Germany. "As a result, the background of the products is always clear. I choose companies that consider sustainability important. Then it's about materials that can be reused, applying eco-ink and so on." 

Tachup has been working for Landal for about 25 years, supplying almost everything in the field of decoration. From photo wallpaper and wall decorations to printing on tables. "Stylists usually already know what images they want and in what style. We then check whether those images are suitable and on which material we can apply it. If they want something on wood, is it possible? Is this indeed the look they are looking for? What processing is still needed?"

Where necessary, the company realises completely new solutions. For example, a project in Eerbeek required LED lighting behind a decorative panel. "However, the existing solutions were not what we were looking for," says Groenewege. "Together with a lighting manufacturer with whom I work more often, we therefore developed a completely new solution. This succeeded so well that the manufacturer itself is going to include it in its product range." 

In this way, Tachup takes work off the client's hands. "I handle the contact with the client and am basically an external extension of the organisation," he says.

According to Groenewege, this has many advantages. "How nice it is to outsource an element that does not weigh on the organisation as a result. Whoever joins forces with me knows that we will do it the way the client wants. Every project is unique, which is why we don't have a fixed offer. At the end of October, we released an inspiration book. In it, previous projects were depicted in an artistic way, so that other clients can more easily find inspiration for their own project as a result."
