Meurop Furniture
From 1957, Pierre Guariche collaborated with Meurop, before serving as artistic director from 1960 to 1968, instilling a rational, elegant, and accessible vision of design. The company integrated the entire manufacturing process — metal, wood, plastics, upholstery, and tapestry — establishing itself as a modern manufacture dedicated to furniture.
Founded by the Belgian firm Trefac, the Meurop brand developed within the context of the post-war consumer society boom. The company integrated the entire manufacturing process — metal, wood, plastics, upholstery, and tapestry — establishing itself as a modern manufacture dedicated to storage furniture and lighting.
From the late 50s, Pierre Guariche collaborated with Meurop, before serving as artistic director throughout the 60s, instilling a rational, elegant, and accessible vision of design. Meurop thus democratized modern furniture, using innovative materials like molded plastic and metal tubing. Today, Meurop creations are sought after for their pop aesthetic, intact modernity, and key role in the history of 20th-century Belgian and European design.
