Mass Modern Design

Growing up in the southern Dutch town of Roosendaal, Etienne Feijns started at about age seven accompanying his parents to flea markets in the Netherlands coastal region and just across the border in Belgium. Feijns went in search of antique toy collectibles, vintage pieces and small decorative furniture. “I’d go with my flashlight, because it was still dark when people were setting up, otherwise you couldn’t see anything,” he says. “I loved it to search for special and unique pieces. We’d even talk about it the day before reading through auction catalogues, building up excitement for what we’d find and what we found there before.
