{"title":"Mathias De Ferm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nMathias De Ferm (1985) is a product and furniture designer from Antwerp, Belgium. Collaborating with internationally renowned brands, his work includes furniture, kitchenware, barbecues and timber outbuildings. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMathias studied product development at the Hogeschool Antwerpen and furniture design at the Katholieke Hogeschool Mechelen. Eager to learn more about materials and techniques, he earned additional degrees in metalwork and carpentry. An internship at design firm Extremis provided further insight into the full course of a production process: from the first sketch to the final product. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn 2010, Mathias decided to start his own business. As an independent designer, he has worked for a variety of clients since then: from furniture manufacturers to a cookware company. A collaboration with industrial designer Pieter Vanderhenst led to a couple of innovative, award-winning concepts. In addition to furniture and products, Mathias has also designed a number of interiors for residential as well as commercial projects. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA full resume can be found on his LinkedIn profile. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eVision \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAdded value: a simple but key principle in Mathias De Ferm’s design approach. What is a product used for? How can it improve someone’s daily life? Vital questions that lead to innovative ideas: from improving a small feature to rethinking an entire product category. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis functionality is often defined by a product’s social environment. A dining table, for instance, is not limited to its practical qualities. It forms the centerpiece of a home: a place where people gather to eat, drink and talk with each other. Mathias’ work is characterized by a strong belief in the social relevance of design. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA serene yet warmhearted aesthetic and the frequent use of durable materials reflect this. The right types of wood and metal are resistant to outdoor conditions and ensure a lengthy lifespan. Wood, as an additional plus, is a completely renewable and biodegradable resource. Solid materials that result in products with a timeless appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"royal-botania-traverse-folding-rectangular-teak-garden-table","title":"TRAVERSE - Folding rectangular teak garden table (Request Info)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eTraverse \u003c\/b\u003ecollection by designer Mathias Deferm is a modern twist on the traditional English gateleg folding table.‎ It's a stylish and practical piece of furniture that can comfortably seat two when half open, and impressively accommodate six guests at full size.‎ With support stays that slide smoothly and are discreetly hidden in the frame, the table is also incredibly slim when folded, making it easy to store.‎ The collection has also expanded to include a new round version with a 130 cm span, adding even more versatility to this cool and convenient piece.‎\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royal Botania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53028152344940,"sku":"Royal Botania :","price":99999999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/9313\/4444\/files\/h_TRAVERSE-Royal-Botania-242271-rel5f27fc45.jpg?v=1766986737"},{"product_id":"royal-botania-traverse-folding-round-garden-table","title":"TRAVERSE - Folding round garden table (Request Info)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eTraverse \u003c\/b\u003ecollection by designer Mathias Deferm is a modern twist on the traditional English gateleg folding table.‎ It's a stylish and practical piece of furniture that can comfortably seat two when half open, and impressively accommodate six guests at full size.‎ With support stays that slide smoothly and are discreetly hidden in the frame, the table is also incredibly slim when folded, making it easy to store.‎ The collection has also expanded to include a new round version with a 130 cm span, adding even more versatility to this cool and convenient piece.‎\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royal Botania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53028163551596,"sku":"Royal Botania :","price":99999999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/9313\/4444\/files\/h_TRAVERSE-Royal-Botania-290517-rele57087bb.jpg?v=1766986779"},{"product_id":"royal-botania-ostrea-sled-base-stainless-steel-garden-chair","title":"OSTREA - Sled base stainless steel garden chair (Request Info)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOstrea \u003c\/b\u003eis a chair, named after the Latin word for oyster.‎ It is a highly original and ergonomic design by Matthias De Ferm.‎ Crafted from stainless-steel tubes, the organic shape of the chair is a testament to the designer's creativity and the expertise of Royal Botania's craftsmen.‎ With two cushion options, the round seat cushion or full surface padding that mimics the shape and ribs of a shell, the Ostrea Chair promises a comfortable and relaxed dining experience.‎\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royal Botania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53028163944812,"sku":"Royal Botania :","price":99999999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/9313\/4444\/files\/h_ostrea-royal-botania-629089-relf7f32bf0.jpg?v=1766986780"}],"url":"https:\/\/trdst.us\/collections\/mathias-de-ferm.oembed","provider":"TRDST.US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
