“ SUSTAINABILITY IS IMPORTANT TO US , WHICH IS WHY WE ’ VE DECIDED NOT TO FOLLOW THE TRADITIONAL SEASONS , COLLECTIONS , AND TRENDS .”
Bert - One of Gommaire ’ s three founders
The GOMMAIRE brand
Gommaire is a Belgian brand that was established in January 2015 and is a reflection of the combined ideas and years of experience of Gommaire Cleybergh , Bert Verelst , and Laurent De Greef . Gommaire represents a timeless collection of indoor and outdoor furniture , complemented by an extensive collection of decorative pieces . Each item is instilled with an organic accent that is reflected throughout the brand as a whole . Nearly the entire collection is the outcome of Cleybergh , Verelst , and De Greef ’ s creative and design talent .
Gommaire – Organic Living is expanding its current collection with new indoor , outdoor , and home decor products . The brand remains true to its methods and high-quality materials in opting for new variations on existing forms . For example , new glassware , woven accessories , and a new shade – authentic grey patine – are being added to the collection , all of which subtly allude to the current collection . New furniture and fabrics will also be making their début in the outdoor collection .
Gommaire doesn ’ t follow the traditional pattern where new collections are concerned . The brand represents timeless , contemporary classics that transcend trends . “ Sustainability is important to us , which is why we ’ ve decided not to follow the
traditional seasons , collections , and trends . We ’ re staying true to our own path and our own way of working . That means that this isn ’ t a spring collection , but rather an impeccably matched addition of new products to the current range ,” says Bert , one of Gommaire ’ s three founders .
A new showroom for professionals
Last spring , when the news arrived that 2020 ’ s major interior design fairs were all being cancelled , Gommaire stepped up and took advantage of the circumstances by giving its Belgian showroom a complete makeover and setting up a brand-new virtual showroom . The ground floor , for example , is now exclusively dedicated to the Decoration collection . One of the three inspirational dynamos behind the brand , Gommaire , personally finished each of the round pedestals by hand to ensure that the showroom items would be showcased to their full advantage . The entire top floor was cleared out to make room for the indoor and outdoor collections currently on display . Professional customers , interior designers , and project developers can make an appointment to visit and discover the full collection by themselves or accompanied by their clients .
