What a pleasure it is for us to finally receive the wonderful monograph on Christophe Gevers, produced by Jean-Pierre Gabriel. Gevers’ harmonious, timeless style is honoured by Gabriel’s photographic research, which is rich, comprehensive and intimate. A real treasure trove…

With 432 pages illustrated with over 500 original photographs, CHRISTOPHE GEVERS, the eponymous monograph devoted to the creative world of Christophe Gevers, offers a unique insight into the known and lesser-known worlds of one of the greatest Belgian interior architects and furniture designers of the second half of the twentieth century.
This book, which brings Christophe Gevers out of the shadows, is divided into five main sections: The houses; The master and his pupils; The interiors; The restaurants; The designer – furniture, lighting and objects.
The texts are mainly based on testimonials from friends and family, clients, professionals, collaborators and former students. From 1959 to 1993, Christophe Gevers left his atypical mark on thirty-three classes at the famous La Cambre art school, in the Mobilier & Agencement workshop.
A brutalist before his time, Gevers was uncompromising about the quality of the materials he chose so that they would last and embellish over time.

This publication contains 500 original images taken by the renowned photographer Jean-Pierre Gabriel.
