Company Midnight was founded in 2015 under the non-profit organization ShakeThat. It is the natural continuation of the long-standing collaboration between Simone Scaini and Joris Verbeeren.

​

Their shared history within ShakeThat, a deep affection for the night, and an unhealthy amount of experimentation eventually led to the inevitable birth of this company.

​

Joris is an autodidact with a love of slapstick, manipulation of everyday objects and questionable late-night ideas.

​

Simone is a slightly neurotic, self-taught “Mad Professor” — obsessed with mechanics, precision and building things that probably shouldn’t exist.

​

Together they developed “Us”, a project in which they immersed themselves in knife throwing and methodically dismantled and rebuilt the discipline according to their own logic.
