Maarten Van Severen (1956-2005) is one of Belgium's best-known contemporary designers. At the end of the eighties he started designing furniture in his own workshop in Ghent. His creations are simple, clear and well thought-out. They reflect his quest for perfection in form, detail and execution. He prefers to call himself a maximalist - someone who relentlessly devotes all his energy and resources to achieving the desired result, even if it ultimately and perhaps inevitably seems minimalist.
