The Story Behind HERLIV
HERLIV is more than a name. it’s a philosophy. It stems from two simple ideas: “Her”, inspired by the Dutch word hergebruiken, meaning to reuse, and “Liv”, from the English word live, representing life. Together, they embody the core of our mission: to give objects a new life.
At HERLIV, we believe that every piece carries a story worth preserving. By carefully selecting and curating items with history, character, and soul, we ensure that what was once forgotten or overlooked can live again, inspiring and adding value to new spaces and lives.
Our name is a constant reminder of our purpose: to reuse, revive, and reimagine, turning the past into something meaningful for today. HERLIV isn’t just about objects. it’s about continuing stories, honoring history, and creating impact with every carefully chosen piece.
Meet the founder
HERLIV is the result of a personal vision: to revive the past with care and intention. Founded by Lars Dubbelink, HERLIV reflects his lifelong passion for objects that tell a story and carry character.
Lars believes that every piece deserves attention, respect, and a second life. Just as he contributes to the success of others in his work, he brings the same mindset to HERLIV.
Driven by curiosity, taste, and a love for history, Lars carefully selects each item, ensuring that HERLIV isn’t just about objects HERLIV is more than “just” a collection. It’s about continuing stories, inspiring lives, and connecting past with present.
