Lensvelt will bring an exposition to Milan Design Week to launch the first series of furnitures of Flemish designer Maarten Van Severen.
The pieces of the collection are shown in a 3D environment designed by OMA Architects. They created a deceiving scenery where photography and graphics alternate – a decor that makes the visitor feel like walking in the former studio of Maarten Van Severen.

In what would be the last year of his life, Maarten Van Severen gave an interview in his Studio, which is the basis for the film Maarten Van Severen. Works by Terenja van Dijk. The encounter with the Flemish furniture maker reveals the way he thinks, lives, collects, designs and makes.

On the occasion of the International launch of Van Severen First Series of furniture, Lensvelt brings to Triennale di Milano this documentary, which is shown daily in the Teatro dell’Arte for all the visitors.

Lensvelt will also present an impressive film about the flamboyant personality of the Flemish craftsman. Maarten Van Severen: addicted to every possibility is a film by Moon Blaisse, who reconstructs his tumultuous life by following the first steps of his four talented sons.
