Together with Brafour, Marc van der Voorn launched the Wire family: a dining chair and a  counter stool.

The surprise is one of the key elements that make people stop, turn their head and have a closer look. The legs of the Hole chair have this effect on people. The faceted legs pierce through the seat of the chair, melting the frame and seat together and leaving a mark. The legs are made of Europian oak, known for its strength and durability. A well-built chair will last a lifetime, that is our goal. 100% wool from Denmark is used for the upholstery, giving the chair a warm and rich finish.

The Epic chair is all about perseverance. Which resulted in the distinctive back of the Epic chair. It literally splits the frame in two. A team of dedicated craftsmen at ZET furniture joined it sturdy back together. For Marc van der Voorn pushing the boundaries is what makes the process of designing fascinating and rewarding. A team effort is needed to create a remarkable product that stands out. The Epic family is the result of that quest.
