"More than a designer, Christophe Gevers is a sculptor. He sculpts shapes, volumes, materials, and he assembles them until they become furniture and spaces" (extract from the foreword by Glenn Sestig).

A brutalist before his time, Christophe Gevers (1928-2007) was uncompromising about the quality of the materials he chose so that they would last and embellish over time.

This richly illustrated monograph is devoted to Gevers's creative universe and offers a unique look at is known and lesser-known worlds of one. It is divided into five main sections: Houses; The master and his students; Interiors; The restaurants; The designer -furniture, lighting and objects.

The texts are essentially based on testimonies from relatives, clients, professionals, collaborators and former students. From 1959 to 1993 Christophe Gevers left indeed his atypical mark on thirty-three classes at the famous La Cambre art school, within the Mobilier & Agencement workshop.
