Two benches, a quay, a lot of sawdust.
Founded in 2011 in a former warehouse in the port of Antwerp, Atelier Nord is now three cabinetmakers and an apprentice.
Our story
Jonas Verhaegen learned the trade with an antique-furniture restorer in Ghent. He kept one obsession from it: joints that hold without glue or screws, and furniture you repair rather than replace.
Lise Maes joined him in 2016, with a design degree and a taste for taut lines. Together they draw everything that leaves the workshop.
- Traditional joineryMortise and tenon, dovetails.
- Solvent-free finishesPlant oils and natural waxes.
- Repairable for lifeWe take back and restore our pieces.
