DE ZETEL Just as a chair rests on four legs, the chair and table maker, De Zetel, rests on four generations. These four generations of furniture makers have been refining and sharing their expertise in chair making and wood since 1924. De Zetel is now international but continues to be firmly rooted in tradition. The relentless pursuit of quality combined with an unceasingly innovative spirit, stands out in each and every one of its designs.

The growth rings of De Zetel may not show but the durability of its beech and oak products shines through in each and every one of its creations. As an FSC and PEFC certified company, De Zetel exclusively works with wood from sustainably managed forests.

ZCREATIONS Z-Creations is the division within De Zetel focused on creating seating for the hotel and catering industry and for individual projects. This important and demanding segment of the market can reap myriad benefits from the company’s decades of craftsmanship and for this reason, Z-Creations collaborates with hand-picked creative talent for product and interior design.

Alongside annually launching a selection of new products, Z-Creations has also emerged as an innovative project partner and a point of reference for the trade and designers. The “Z” refers to Gerrit Rietveld’s zig-zag chair and is a metaphor for the thought process behind creating equilibrium between functionality, aesthetics and price.

LOUISE CHARLIER Louise Charlier grew up in Ixelles, Brussels and studied at the La Cambre design school. She took part in an exchange programme in Finland where her love for simple design and craftwork flourished even more. She also did several work placements, including at Gandia Blasco, the Spanish outdoor furniture designer. Since 2010, she has been working for MĂŠdiane,

the design and communication studio which belongs to her father, who is also an industrial designer. Here she is responsible for developing the design arm of the business. Her first design under the wing of MĂŠdiane was the 4U table which quickly made its mark at Bois & Habitat.

EQUIS & 4U The Equis chair by Brussels designer Louise Charlier is characterised by its x-shaped structure made of solid beech. Equis is particularly attractive because of its range of options. For this chair Louise Charlier started from the principle of a main structure with two seat options and three backrest options, each in a range of colours. When combined with the 4U table with its U-shaped legs, this makes a pretty pair.

The designs allow you to achieve a homogenous yet playful effect in restaurant interiors. The customisation results in a more cheerful interior with a consistent, creative identity.
