Christophe Gevers
Works
Overview
"I believe I became a designer, because I was interested in the present, which is the future and the past out of date."
Christophe Gevers (1928–2007) was a self-taught Belgian interior architect and designer celebrated for his bold use of raw materials, which he believed grew more beautiful with time. Beginning in the 1960s, Gevers left his mark on Brussels with innovative interiors for restaurants, brasseries, and banks, including iconic projects like Taverne des Beaux-Arts and Vieux Saint-Martin. His TBA Chair, awarded the Signe d'Or in 1959, brought him widespread recognition. A long-time professor at La Cambre (1960–1993), he shaped a generation of designers while developing an enduring body of work that, though once underrecognized, is now highly sought after.
