Louis XV style Table "Bonheur de Jour"

Material: Beech, Oak, Yew / Veneer: European Walnut, Cherry, Ebiara, Ebony

Rococo style table with baroque motif marquetry on table top. I was shortly enrolled in Antwerp Academy: I put all the knowledge and techniques that I learned there into this furniture. To finish, I applied French polishing.

Arm Chair

Material: Kenari

Inspired by Scandinavian furniture I designed a wide seat in order to be able to sit cross-legged.

Production at vocational school in Botswana

My function as instructor was to teach others, but in fact I have learned a great deal from the field. I realised there is not one absolute teaching method but there are as many different approaches to education and ways of learning as there are people and circumstances. Real development is to look together for the most suitable manner. Freedom of choice is real wealth.

We engaged in all kinds of repair works: from furniture to a donkey cart. When we take care of things, we’re also working towards a collaborative future.
