About Alfred Hendrickx

Alfred Hendrickx (1931 - 1976) emerged as a prominent figure in Belgium's furniture design scene during the 1950s. With a family legacy rooted in the Van Fleteren furniture firm, founded by his grandfather, Hendrickx inherited a rich tradition of craftsmanship. Transitioning from ship interiors to residential furniture in the post-war period, Van Fleteren embraced the trend of 'social furniture', a shift that Alfred Hendrickx contributed to significantly. In the 1950s, Hendrickx's designs for Van Fleteren resulted in the creation of the iconic 'Belform' collection in 1953. This collection marked a turning point for the company.

They introduced lighter, more versatile pieces with a sleek, modern aesthetic influenced by Italian design. Hendrickx's participation in Expo '58, the Brussels World's Fair, further elevated his status. His work alongside other prominent Belgian designers like Willy Van Der Meeren, Jos De Mey and Lucien Engels, solidified his position as one of Belgium's most important post-war designers. Today, Hendrickx's furniture remains highly sought after by collectors and vintage design enthusiasts, revered as emblematic examples of the Belgian modernist style.
