De Winter Design
Jan De Winter founded De Winter Design with a simple aim: to rediscover and commercialise the little-known furniture designs of his grandfather, the architect Roger De Winter. These were created alongside and during Roger’s architectural practice but were never commercially produced during his lifetime. They remained largely hidden and thus constitute a completely
undiscovered treasure in the history of Belgian furniture design.

From the very same location where Roger once ran his architectural practice, and with access to the complete archive of drawings, sketches and prototypes, his grandson is bringing this lost design legacy back to life. The approach combines exacting precision with deep respect for the original vision. Each piece is thoroughly researched, multiple prototypes are tested, and where possible, owners of original pieces are consulted.
The aim is not merely to reproduce historical furniture, but to carefully rework it to meet contemporary quality standards, with a view to reaching a wider audience. Each piece of furniture is entirely produced in Belgium with high-quality craftsmanship.
De Winter Design goes beyond mere production. It is a tribute to a forgotten designer and helps to inform the public about Belgian design history.
