The Humans Behind Onlinetapijten
🧡 Real People. Personal Service. No Algorithms
Meet the Team at Onlinetapijten
In a world of AI chats, auto-replies, and impersonal algorithms, we offer something different — people.
When you message us, visit our showroom, or receive a rug at your door, you're not dealing with a bot or a helpdesk. You're meeting Christian, Siemen, Aleksa, Razvan — and, in spirit, our mentor Freddy. Real humans with real taste, quirks, and passion for what they do. We don’t just sell rugs. We help make homes feel right.
So let’s skip the corporate talk. Here’s who we are — and why our clients keep coming back.
✨ Christian – The Visionary with a Flair for Colour
Interior lover, mood-board master, and your best friend when you're stuck between "safe" and "spectacular."
Christian comes from the luxury travel world, and it shows. Think hotel chic, five-star service, and bold-but-right decisions you wouldn’t have dared on your own. He’ll gently (or not-so-gently) nudge you toward that perfect rug that lifts your space from okay to wow. Always with a smile. Sometimes with a velvet sample in hand.
🌿 Siemen – The Calm Within the Colour
We call him the organiser. Precise, dependable, and the man behind our beautifully composed showroom layouts.
Siemen lives for clean lines, neutral palettes, and Scandinavian elegance. His taste is grounded — natural tones, soft textures — but don’t be surprised if he throws in a silky showstopper when the room needs a spark. He’s also your go-to for planning, samples, and that quiet confidence that everything is under control.
Outside the showroom? He’s hosting friends, grilling steaks, and pouring a proper Ribera del Duero. Red, of course.
🚛 Aleksa – Delivery, But Make It Five Star
Aleksa isn’t just the guy who brings your rug. He’s the guy who places it just right, moves your furniture back, takes away the rubbish — and leaves your home looking better than you imagined.
He’s personally responsible for over 2,200 five-star reviews, and it’s no mystery why. He treats every delivery like a final styling moment. He doesn’t leave until your rug is perfect. The service? Impeccable. The care? Real.
💻 Razvan – Our Quiet Power Behind the Scenes
Not everyone sees Razvan — but everyone benefits from what he does.
He’s the reason our website feels smooth, your order updates are spot-on, and your emails about vintage rugs land in your inbox at just the right time. He built our “view in your room” tool to make rug shopping smarter. He keeps the tech talking — and the clients smiling.
In his free time? He’s travelling, shopping for clothes, and zipping around in his Mini Cooper.
🍺 Freddy – Forever Our Guiding Star
Freddy is no longer with us, but his spirit lives in every corner of our company. He built this business with heart, drive, and that unmistakable charisma clients still remember.
We imagine him above us, beer in hand, nodding with pride every time we go the extra mile. More than a mentor — he’s the reason we are who we are.
🛋 Why It Matters
We know you have options. You could scroll an online mega-store, get help from a chatbot, and hope your rug looks okay when it arrives.
But if you want something better — real people, real advice, real service — you’re in the right place.
We listen. We mock up. We tell you honestly if something won’t work. We care about fibres, pets, kids, floors, layering, lighting and yes — the feeling you get when you walk into your home.
Because for us, it’s never just a rug.
