Maarten Van Severen




Maarten Van Severen studied architecture at Ghent art school and in 1986 began manufacturing furniture. In 1989 he produced his first wooden table; long, slim and pure in form. In 1990 he turned his attention to chairs. His work, hand-produced in his workshop in Ghent Belgium, reflects his quest for perfection in form, detail and fabrication. Maarten works in a variety of different materials: aluminium and plies to Bakelite and polyester. Van Severen is also frequently commissioned as a decorator and furniture designer for private residence projects, teamed with Rem Koolhaas. Since 1997 he has been involved in industrial productions for Target Lighting (U-Line lamp), Obumex (kitchen), Vitra (chair n°03), Edra (Blue Bench), BULO (Schraag).

“Thanks for the follow-up - Received it at 9.30 this morning, all set up and enjoying the beautiful sunny day in it - oh the perks of working from home (Although rain later in the week means I'll be testing out the cover too)!!!
A really great quality and robust product at a great price. I also brought the Fatboy undercover tent, which I've put on, which is amazing and provides some lovely relief from direct sun (just in case you were thinking of stocking it!!) - I may try it out camping too.”
