Originally published in 2000, this book is considered an intrinsic part of the Belgian furniture designer's oeuvre. This new edition, published on the tenth anniversary of Van Severen's death in 2005, offers a comprehensive overview of his many creations and inspirations through photomontage, slideshows of images, and an essay by Geert Bekaert. It shows how his ascetic tables, chairs, lamps, wardrobes, and more - designed for great simplicity and with modern materials - are synonymous with the feeling of a contemporary life
