4000 m2 of reclaimed building materials and furniture in Brussels. Almost all our inventory is visible on our website!

03/09/2026

It’s back to school season, and september always comes with surprises! When we were asked to help save a diverse stock of school furniture from a warehouse on the verge of being demolished, and only 15 min riding from Evere, we couldn't say no. And here is the result: our warehouse is full of colored chairs and benches in all sizes and colors!

Before we start photographing and measuring each piece to be added on our webshop, we’ll open up our warehouse to the early birds who can decide on the spot, to offer them prime choice and reduced prices.

When? Starting from Friday 4 September at 10:00
How? On-site sale, paiement and collection on the same day.
How much? Prices range from 10 to 15 €/pc for the chairs, and 25 to 40 €/pc for the tables.

Welcome to Rotor DC!

What a week!!
We welcomed a beautiful collection of glazed doors in solid pine, as well as assorted pastel-colored furniture, and office supplies. For the more ‘hard-core’ building materials, we present: pink granite cobblestones, Azobe wood blocks, and a large quantity of wall coping tiles. Speaking of tiles, we also proceeded to remove the mortar from several dozen linear metres of friezes, using our tile-cleaning machine.
Oh, and we restocked on our parquet references too!

If that’s not enough motivation to stop by, tomorrow Saturday 29/08, a celebratory music event takes place in our warehouse during the shop’s opening hours. Coffee and food also available!

Finally, a friendly reminder: as explained in a previous post, we have to increase some of our prices. We start adapting them from the 1st of September, so tomorrow is the last Saturday before the prices increase by 5-10% depending on the product. Non-exhaustive list: parquet floorings, Terrazzo Bomarbre floor tiles, Emery & Cie tiles, Erco lights, certain hardware, curbstones,...

We hope to welcome you at RotorDC.

We’re big fans of this cabinet! Made from salvaged gym flooring and glulam panels by RotorDC, transformed on-site by into a beautifully crafted piece for .cafe – the coffee roastery also installed on our site.

Starting with reclaimed raw beams and parquet, the result is quite impressive, with impeccable joinery and attention to detail, such as the adjustable inner tray.

This Saturday 29/08, for the occasion of the micro-roastery’s 3rd anniversary there will be coffee, food and music in our warehouse! The event, with music by and , takes place during the opening hours of the RotorDC shop, which will be running as usual from 10-18h. It will also be a good opportunity to have a look at the coffee cabinet.

Welcome to RotorDC! Avenue de Bâle 3, 1140 Evere.

NB: we have a couple of gymfloor panels left, available in our physical shop only. For the glulam panels, you can find more information in our webshop.

Who remembers these beauties?

These lacquered steel shelves were originally salvaged by our team from Henri Van De Velde’s ‘Book Tower’ in Ghent more than ten years ago. This was primarily a same-site reuse project, during which our team carefully dismantled the original shelves so they could be reused in the tower itself after its renovation. However, a small portion of the shelves—for which there was no room in the renovated building—were put back into circulation.

Some of these bookshelves were immediately repurposed by for the interior design of .eu, a small independent bookshop in Brussels known for its multilingual and European curation. If you visit LibreBook today (and you should!), you’ll discover a place brimming with books, and you might even stumble upon an author meeting or another event. The place is bustling and has changed a lot since it opened. And that’s how it should be! This summer, they had to replace some of the Book Tower shelving units to accommodate smaller-sized books, such as paperbacks. We are very appreciative that they thought of redirecting them back to RotorDC!

These shelves were manufactured by Moens under license from SNEAD, a company based in Louisville, Kentucky. They closely resemble the original bookcases made for the Book Tower’s opening in 1937, but were likely manufactured at a later date. Angus Snead Macdonald and the company he founded revolutionized library design in the US and around the world. Their designs played a pivotal role in the transition from closed, structural shelving systems to open shelving systems emphasizing modularity, which are still in use today.

We’ve signed our 30-year lease contract!

Running an urban architectural salvage yard entails an intrinsic paradox: on the one hand, we need a lot of space to store our materials, and on the other, we need to be close to the city, where land is expensive – with an activity that is challenging to make economically viable.

There is no magic bullet to this dilemma. In the past, we have occupied temporary spaces, enjoying lower rent but enduring all the drawbacks of being a transitional occupant. From 2014, we occupied a warehouse in Vilvoorde where we constantly had to patch up the leaky roof. In 2017, we moved to the former ‘Leonidas’ chocolate factory in Anderlecht, where we spent a lot of time doing adaptation and compliance works (even building a 6-m high fire partition!) knowing that it would all be lost because demolition was already scheduled.

At that point, we decided our next location would be non-temporary. Renting? Buying? The solution that seemed ideal to us was somewhere in between. An emphyteutic lease is a form of land holding similar to full ownership, but limited to a maximum term of 99 years. Under this arrangement, the holder pays quarterly lease payments in exchange for real property rights, which means the right to build or renovate. In our case, our dream spot turned out to be nestled in the Da Vinci business district, from the public agency .brussels. Citydev owns 2 million m² of industrial sites scattered across the Brussels Region. Together, these 200 hectares exceed the surface of, say, the municipality of Koekelberg. These sites are hosting over 470 enterprises, many of them on emphyteutic lease. By doing so, the Region ensures that these industrial sites are protected from rampant real estate speculation.

Following a phase during which we rented our premises, we have now embarked on a 30-year emphyteutic lease—renewable up to a maximum of 99 years! Although this is only a change on paper, it means a great deal to us. We can now look to the future over a longer term than just the next few years.

In September, we'll have more news to share about the future of the site—so stay tuned!

We’re back from our summer break!

In the run-up to our holiday closure, luck smiled on us and we received some wonderful secondhand furniture.

Take a look, for example, at these ‘Aequus’ tables designed by Pierre-Emmanuel Vandeputte, recovered from a food court. They feature individually adjustable legs to accommodate uneven surfaces and are suitable for outdoor use. Doesn’t this powder-coated finish with the colorful corner remind you of something? That’s right—these tables match the chairs we received from the same source a few months ago (and we still have a few left!).

We’ve also received an exceptional lot of ultra-stackable ‘40/4’ chairs designed by David Rowland for Howe, as well as 30 white tables with folding legs, black fabric conference chairs with chrome legs, and nearly 80 stackable Kuadra chairs from Pedrali!

We’re looking forward to welcoming you again!

Here’s more information about the sports hall flooring!

What exactly is it? A total of 500 m² of wooden floor reclaimed from the sports hall at the MAX STEM Campus, home to the basketball club. Once we had finished cutting, we ended up with 170 panels, most of which measure approximately 122 x 244 cm (+- 2 cm). Despite our best efforts, on-site cutting is far from matching workshop carpentry standards; so expect to spend some time on finishing work.

And here’s the icing on the cake: the flooring consists of 17-mm thick 3-ply, the top layer consisting of nothing less than 6 mm of oak wood! The surface features coloured lines and is coated with varnish. The sports hall was used extensively over the years; signs of wear and tear are to be expected.

By Friday, all the panels will have arrived at Rotor DC. To give the early birds a head start, we will initially only be accepting in-store purchases, with payment and collection on the same day. No reservations will be possible at this stage. This will take place on our last two opening days before the summer break, namely Friday 24th and Saturday 25th. Introductory price: 79 € per panel!

Note that the panels are heavy and difficult to handle; please ensure you have enough helping hands and wear protective gloves, as our staff will not be able to help you load your vehicle on the day. If you do not have access to a vehicle, our partners at .demenagement.sprl will be on site to deliver your order on the same day as part of a bulk delivery (transport cost of 39 € per address for up to 4 panels, until 17u).

A detailed description of the panels can be found here:

See you there!

Surprise! For this final week before our summer break, we're going to welcome one of our favourite materials! Our team has been busy dismantling a 600 m² floor in a sports hall in Tessenderlo. Following the same strategy as last time, rather than reclaiming the parquet board by board, our salvage operation consisted of on-site cut-to-size work, which resulted in panels measuring approximately 1.2 x 2.4 metres. Due to the thickness of the underlying wooden joist structure, we had to use a special circular saw capable of reaching 9 cm below the floor surface!

If everything goes to plan, the complete batch should be here at Rotor DC by the end of the week. In that case, we could already allow in-store purchase on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th, with same-day payment and collection. The webshop listing would follow at a later date.

We’ll be sending you an update midweek, so stay tuned!
