Willy Van der Meeren Furniture

Willy Van der Meeren (1923-2002) was a Belgian architect and furniture designer, who was once a pupil of Le Corbusier. During the 1950's Willy designed some amazing pieces for Tubax, a manufacturer known for it's role in pioneering modernism in Belgium. Van der Meeren believed in the simplicity of design and once said: "I am not an artist, nor a designer, I am a builder...If I did not build, I would not be a designer. That's why I cannot make anything that is superfluous".
