EXTREMIS ”Designers should always have the ambition to change the world for the better,” is a quote from Dieter Rams, the founder of contemporary design. It is not surprising that a company led by a passionate designer makes choices that differ from a classic sales-driven organisation. Because Dirk Wynants is interested in all aspects of releasing his designs, this results in an exceptional synergy. Equally exceptional is the design methodology used, where the “why” is the starting point of every design.

Extremis was founded in 1994 by Dirk Wynants, who started off very small with only 1 design that he assembled himself in his summerhouse. He calls his collection designer furniture ‘Tools for Togetherness’ with an emphasis on human interaction, intelligent problem solving and sustainability, with the aim of improving quality of life. Extremis is based in Poperinge, Belgium. Their designer furniture is universally appreciated throughout the world.
