Tim Vranken is a Belgian furniture designer who focuses on solid, handmade furniture. Throughout his designs the use of pure materials and honest natural processes are paramount. The result is an unconcealed interplay of lines and shapes, without the slightest frills. To make sure the furniture meets up to all of his ideas, Tim builds every piece himself.
My Approach
I have an endless love for wood in its pure form. Rather than to polish away inherent rough and uneven parts, I choose to let the wood reveal this specific imperfect nature in his furniture. The structure of the wood grains ensures a beautiful design, which I will always put first. My aim as a designer is to create a refined piece of furniture so that it does not need anything other than itself to create harmony.
