A warm home for Ukrainian refugees
In the aftermath of political instability and conflict in Ukraine, countless people were forced to flee their homeland. They must rebuild their lives elsewhere, and some of them sought safety in Belgium. Hoping for a better future. To give them a temporary home, Wonen in Vlaanderen is building emergency villages in places like Hasselt and Ghent. The living units in these emergency villages are equipped with Drisag furniture. A first! Because this is how we extend our expertise to furnishing temporary housing.
Suitable & comfortable housing
Finding suitable and comfortable housing for a large number of people is a complex task. We faced the challenge of furnishing 95 housing units in Hasselt and Ghent, with the aim of creating a safe and warm environment for refugees. It was essential to ensure that the housing met the basic needs of the residents while providing a feeling of home.
From cabinets to bed frames
We put together a dedicated team and worked closely with other stakeholders to realize the housing of Ukrainian refugees. First, we went back to the drawing board. Because a bed was obviously not in our standard product portfolio. For this, our team of product developers quickly shifted gears. Starting from our existing office furniture, in no time they designed double beds, bunk beds and a domestic seat.
The overlap between office furniture and home furnishings
In recent years, we see a lot of overlap between office furniture and home furnishings. The office has become a lot more homely and warm with earthy tones and organic shapes. Therefore, it was not difficult for our interior designers to put together the right color palette and create a warm home.

Safe and temporary housing
The need for safe and temporary housing remains worldwide. Whether for refugees or students. Let's continue to work together to create opportunities and make new homes a reality for those in need. Together, we can build a world where no one has to live without safe shelter.
