Maarten Van Severen

Maarten Van Severen studied architecture at the Art Academy in Ghent. In 1986 he designed his first furniture and the following year he created an independent workshop, where he began the semi-industrial small-scale production of furniture of his own design. This unified process of design and production was long a fundamental aspect of his work, which was  dedicated to the examination of basic furniture types: chair, table, chaise longue, shelves, wardrobe. Van Severen developed primary solutions for these categories, based on a comprehensive study of issues such as form, material and construction.
In 1990, he began working closely with Rem Koolhaas, also focusing on interior design tasks.
The beginning of Maarten Van Severen’s collaboration with Vitra in 1996 marked a new phase in his career. Until his death in Ghent in 2005, Maarten Van Severen developed a range of new designs for Vitra, which have gradually destined for mass production.
