Modern Designers

A renowned figure in Belgian design, Maarten van Severen gained acclaim by merging minimalist simplicity and day-to-day practicality in his work. Born in 1956, van Severen originally studied architecture before turning his focus to interior design. In the 1980's, he began to design furniture while trying to eliminate unnecessary elements to achieve clarity in form and utility. His designs have won widespread recognition and his pieces, including chairs, tables, lighting, and cutlery, have been featured in publications and exhibitions around the world.
