Shop Michael Verheyden Decor & Furniture
"The obvious is never obvious", states Michaël Verheyden, reflecting upon the creative process behind each piece - which spans from design to the actual manufacturing. Verheyden takes objects that we use every day: lamps, soap holders, tealights, etc, and creates the most exquisite versions of them from the finest materials possible. Clean lines, smooth surfaces, and elegant textures of suede feel sacred to the touch.
