About Jules Wabbes

Jules Wabbes (1919–1974) was a Belgian designer and interior architect known for his precise approach to material and construction. His early work in antiques and furniture restoration shaped the way he approached materials and making. His work is marked by a clear rejection of short-lived design trends, particularly the widespread use of plastics during the 1960s.

Instead, he focused on durable, high-quality materials, with a particular emphasis on wood. Through direct sourcing, often via the port of Antwerp, he ensured consistent material standards, combined with precise execution and attention to detail.
