Jef Begga Verstappen creates objects shaped by material, proportion and the way we live with them.
Independant Studio
Based in Ghent, Belgium, Jef Begga Verstappen is an independent design studio creating furniture and objects for everyday life.
Each piece is developed through a direct relationship between drawing, material and making. Working closely with wood allows proportions, details and construction to evolve throughout the process.
Designed and made in small quantities, the collection is defined by solid materials, clear forms and objects intended to remain relevant over time.
Material
We work primarily with solid wood, selected for its character, durability and ability to age naturally. Rather than concealing variation, the grain, tone and individual qualities of each piece of timber become part of the finished object.
Our furniture is developed and produced in Ghent, allowing design and making to remain closely connected.
Production
Every piece is made by us in our workshop in Ghent, Belgium. From shaping the raw material to assembling, sanding and finishing, each step of the process is carried out by our own team.
Keeping production close allows design and making to remain connected. Details can evolve throughout the process, while every piece receives the attention of small-scale, hands-on production.
We produce in limited quantities, with a focus on material, construction and objects made to last.
