Maarten Van Severen was a Belgian furniture designer and interior architect. He is considered one of the few Belgian designers who managed to reach the international design elite.
Maarten Van Severen is without a doubt the most important Belgian designer of the past two decades. His furniture designs, with their characteristic clear lines, are renowned worldwide.
The designs are simple, clear, and well-thought-out. They reflect his quest for perfection in design, detail, and execution. He prefers to call himself a maximalist—someone who tirelessly dedicates all his energy, knowledge, and resources to achieving the desired end result, even if it ultimately appears minimalist.
His aim was for a piece of furniture to look 'as if it had always been there'.
Van Severen died at the age of 48.
