Michaël Verheyden

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Michaël Verheyden?

Belgian designer Michaël Verheyden creates what he calls “uncommon objects for common rituals”—home objects in natural, noble materials that are shaped by a profound belief that we need to feel grounded in a rapidly changing world.

What defines Michaël Verheyden's creative philosophy?

His philosophy is defined by a commitment to the power of silence and simplicity, with each piece combining a global design appeal with deeply local craft roots. Verheyden is involved in every stage of making, from design through to manufacturing.

What materials does Michaël Verheyden work with?

Verheyden works with marble, travertine, leather, bronze, oak, and glass—noble and durable materials that feel natural in the hand. His preference for these materials is philosophical as much as aesthetic: he believes objects should be honest about what they are made of, and that the best objects grow more distinguished as they accumulate the marks of a life lived with them. These materials are limited in availability which results in each piece being a one-of-a-kind item.

How should Michaël Verheyden objects be cared for?

Michaël Verheyden’s stone and marble pieces should be protected from liquids immediately, with any spills removed at once with a dry or damp cloth to avoid permanent surface staining. The surfaces can be refreshed and nourished using an uncolored beeswax.
