The gallery chair .04 in grey with armrests by Vitra (Maarten van Severen, 2000): Van Severen's gallery chair .04 is very different from conventional swivel chairs for the office. Its flexible shell is comfortable to sit on and pleasantly yielding to the back. Its new rocking mechanism allows for a smooth transition from the sitting to the reclining position and for gentle sideways movements.

Polyurethane seat shell with upholstered effect cantilevered on steel base, flexible backrest thanks to integrated leaf springs, base arch in die-cast aluminium.

805-930 x 565 x 490-530 mm.

Designer furniture by Maarten van Severen at lachair.com

Maarten Van Severen, born 1956 in Antwerp, Belgium, studied architecture at the Sint-Lucas Art Academy in Ghent, Belgium. He designed his first furniture pieces in 1986 and in the following year established an independent workshop, where he pursued the limited, semi-industrial production of his own furniture designs. This unified process of design and production was a fundamental aspect of his work over a long period of time, in which he devoted himself to the examination of basic furniture types: chair, table, chaiselongue, shelving, cabinet. He developed primary solutions for these categories based on a comprehensive exploration of the questions of form, material and construction. Beginning in 1990, Maarten Van Severen began to collaborate closely with Rem Koolhaas and also turned his attention to interior design tasks. During this period he also assumed teaching positions at a variety of institutions, including University College West Flanders in Kortrijk (1996), the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht (1996-97), Delft University of Technology (1998) and universities in Helsinki and Barcelona. The beginning of his collaboration with Vitra in 1996 marked a new phase in his career. It offered him the opportunity to work with new materials and also brought a much wider degree of exposure and influence. Until his death in 2005 in Ghent, Maarten Van Severen developed a range of new designs for Vitra, which have progressively entered series production.
