 But for us, the love of pleasure means enjoying quality, not quantity. People sometimes take a different attitude to buying furniture, which we think is a shame, because it’s a waste of resources. Kobe Desramaults, In De Wulf

Extremis means Buiten-gewoon or Extra-ordinary * BUITEN / EXTRA Our tools are built to be used outside. They are weather-resistant. That doesn’t mean they can’t be placed in an interior space. For example, many offices use our tools for togetherness for their desks, lunch areas and break-out. * GEWOON / ORDINARY The literal meaning of “buitengewoon" is “out of the ordinary". We make innovative new stuff, but it is ordinary at the same time: Our tools don’t need to shout: ‘look at me!’ They have to be simple, modest and honest.

Westhoek, ‘West Corner’, is where Extremis (and most of its employees) was born and raised. This is the most rural part of Belgium, where people use words like ‘Mohow zeh’ to express wonder while the rest of the Belgians haven’t got a clue what they are trying to say.

“Don’t make anything, unless it is both necessary and useful... and if it is, don’t hesitate to make it beautiful.” This Shaker community quote is our rule number one. Our main concern is to solve problems, not just to produce beautiful objects. And if a problem has already been solved, we need to add value at some point, otherwise, it has no reason to exist. For example, Walrus has an everlasting hide, and it stores warm and cosy blankets inside the backrests. So there are no ugly covers that ruin your terrace view. Bringing comfort outside has never been so easy! Design is human! It’s all...

How to design a tool for togetherness Designed to fit its purpose. Every design decision has a specific reason: Selecting the right materials increases user comfort. Take a look at Gargantua. The central part of the tabletop is made of perforated steel, but the edges of the table that come into contact with the body are made of wood, which feels warmer. The robustly constructed feet are made of galvanised steel, but the seats are wooden. Once again, contact with the body determines the choice of material... Furthermore, it is no coincidence that the table legs are angled. This allows for...

How to design a tool for togetherness 1/2 SHEET The perforated central stainless steel sheet is exactly half the size of a standard sheet, which means that none of the material goes to waste during production. 2 USE IT WISELY The slats for the benches are made from the leftovers of the wooden arches from the tabletop. This means that wood wastage is kept to a minimum.
