Overview

BOON_EDITIONS N°1 BY PIETER MAES

Melding architectural influences and curved lines, the first BOON_EDITIONS collaboration is designed by Antwerp designer Pieter Maes. AEON PROX is a collection of elegance and softness. Artistic Elegance - How form follows feeling.

The collection includes limited edition luxury marble furniture and seatings with soft sculptural shapes, elegant materials and unexpected details. These designs are somehow both sharp and curvy, eye-catching and playful. A creation of emotional connections that experiments with the boundaries between art and design putting the undulating silhouettes to decorative use offering an enticing prospect: comfort. Simple and bold movements that balance the inner force of upholstery with the exterior force of gravity that interacts with the surrounding through their organic shapes and strong expression.

The aesthetic is about the power of pure forms that transcend time. Influenced by human history that has never been written down and remains undocumented, artefacts that suggest a distant past or a potential future.

Meet The Designer

Pieter Maes

Pieter Maes is a Belgian designer based in Pairs whose work includes furniture collections and limited editions for renowned brands and design galleries. Maes was born in Antwerp and attended the Design Academy Eindhoven. Sculptural quality and tactile consistency characterise his works, which draw inspiration from the intuitive understanding of the ancient artefacts and timeless designs. His pieces often portray a contrasted appreciation for furniture that can either conform to traditional norms or completely defy them. This dichotomy enables both diligence and the spirit of reverie, to coexist.
