01 - The structural work is in full swing
The structural work is in full swing and forms the foundation of our new location. Inside, walls are being placed, installations are being fitted, and the layout is increasingly taking shape. This phase is essential to ensure a solid basis for all subsequent steps.
It is a technical process where precision is key: from placing structural elements to preparing pipes and connections. Every day, we get closer to a space that is ready for finishing and furnishing.
02 - The signage is up!
First impressions count – and it’s here! The signing has been installed, immediately giving the iconic flower auction building the recognizable TICA look & feel. An important step towards the festive opening on February 2.
While work on the interior continues in full force inside, you can already see TICA Projects Venlo coming to life outside. It will be the place to be for project decorators, hospitality, and interior professionals.

03 – The catering area is ready
The tastemakers of TICA Projects Venlo are all set. The catering area is stylish, welcoming, and practically furnished. Here, members will soon be able to take a break, get inspired, and enjoy a good cup of coffee or a tasty lunch in between shopping.
The catering facilities form an important part of the overall experience. It is not only a place to relax, but also to exchange ideas and forge new collaborations. Everything has been finished in detail, so that it seamlessly connects with the opening on February 2nd. While the rest of the location is still in motion, this part is already completely ready to receive members.
It’s really starting to take shape: the first furniture brands have begun building their stands. The space is slowly filling with stylish items that will soon form the heart of TICA Projects Venlo. Think of generous sofas, characterful tables, and unique cabinets, all ready to take your project interior to the next level.
This phase is always special: from an empty floor to an inspiring showroom where you will soon be able to mix and match between brands and materials. Each brand brings its own style, making the diversity and creativity tangible.
04 - The first furniture brands are building up
05 - The small products make it big
It’s not just the large furniture brands that are busy; smaller products are also bringing their own character to TICA Projects Venlo. The first stands with accessories, books, and decorations have been set up, immediately giving the showroom more atmosphere and detail. These brands provide that finishing touch that makes every project unique.
From stylish books to surprising decorative items: the range grows every day. Together with the major brands, these details will soon form an inspiring total experience for project decorators and hospitality professionals.
The Lifestyle collection is now in place. The stands clearly demonstrate how easily you can put together larger projects using their furniture and decorations. With this setup, you can furnish various spaces, from hospitality to offices.
For entrepreneurs who want to complete the (final) styling of their project, a visit to TICA Venlo is the perfect addition. There, you can shop per piece, supplement your selection immediately, and take everything with you to the location right away. This allows you to work efficiently from the large project down to the final details.
06 - Furniture and decoration from Lifestyle
07 - Discover catering and hospitality
The new location appeals to a large group of catering and hospitality entrepreneurs. Think of owners of lunch establishments, cafes, hotels, and other welcoming locations who want to regularly refresh their interior or completely restyle it. For these professionals, everything revolves around experience: a space must not only be functional, but also immediately recognizable and inviting for their guests. At TICA Projects Venlo, they will find exactly what helps with this: from furniture for intensive use to accessories that determine the atmosphere and enrich spaces.
Many catering entrepreneurs want to switch quickly, keep few stocks, and still create a distinctive look. In this showroom, you can immediately see which combinations work for their own business.
The lighting from QOOZY is now in place and gives the showroom a completely different dynamic. The brand works with different shapes and combinations that help project designers to delineate or bring together zones. From bar lighting to entrance areas and hospitality concepts: QOOZY shows how you can directly add direction and atmosphere with light. A valuable addition in the construction phase and a brand that project professionals will certainly help to make clear choices in the future.
08 - QOOZY brings light into the showroom
09 - Outdoor collection
Outdoor spaces are playing an increasingly important role in commercial projects. Think, for example, of hospitality terraces or courtyard gardens. At TICA Projects Venlo, a complete range for these projects is emerging. The first outdoor collections are already ready in the showroom, showing how easily you can work through from inside to outside.
Brands like Raw Materials add wooden chairs, tables, and side furniture suitable for daily use. In the coming weeks, more brands focusing on projects with outdoor collections will follow, so that project decorators can soon put together both their interior and exterior in a single visit.
Among all the furniture and outdoor products, you will also find textiles at TICA Projects Venlo. Cushions, bags, and smaller accessories add warmth and contrast to the space, something many project decorators, hospitality entrepreneurs, and retailers work with daily.
The stands show how a few well-chosen pieces can immediately set the direction for a concept. Whether it’s an entrance, seating area, or hospitality space: textiles provide cohesion and finish a project.
10 - Textiles and other accessories
11 - Dutch Sofa Company
The indoor and outdoor collection from Dutch Sofa Company includes sofas in high-quality vinyl and chairs with bold shapes. Everything is ready to inspire project professionals and help them put together complete interiors.
The warm color tones, coarse weaves, and new rugs show how this brand can immediately set the tone for hospitality, office, or leisure projects. The stand is therefore a strong addition to the growing range at TICA Projects Venlo.
Our marketing team spoke with the founders of Dutch Sofa Company about their vision, trend development, and why the new location in Venlo fits their growth ambitions so well.
The last few weeks have been all about fine-tuning, as Monday, February 2, is approaching fast. Almost all the stands are filled, and the showroom is starting to look the way we want to present it to the first visitors.
The hospitality area is also completely ready for use. Everything is organized, tested, and sleekly furnished. Members will soon be able to take a break here, meet others, exchange ideas, or just catch their breath between shopping.
Meanwhile, new brands continue to join. Although construction continues behind the scenes, there is already a branch that shows what project decorators, hospitality entrepreneurs, and interior professionals can expect: a large, inspiring, and complete range in one place.
The countdown to February 2 has officially begun.
12 - The opening is getting closer
13 - We're live!
Last week, we celebrated the official opening together with over 250 visitors – a special milestone after weeks of building, refining, and fine-tuning. The showroom is filled, the brands are ready, and the first orders have already been placed.
The reactions were enthusiastic: inspiring, well-organized, and exactly what project decorators, hospitality entrepreneurs, and interior professionals need to move faster.
A lot is still happening behind the scenes as well. New brands are joining, collections are being supplemented, and the showroom continues to evolve. Although there is always room for growth, there is now a location that shows what TICA Projects Venlo is: an inspiring, entrepreneurial place where you can easily work from idea to execution.
Your next project starts here.
