Maarten De Ceulaer was born in Belgium in 1983. He first studied Interior Design at the Sint-Lukas Hogeschool in Brussels but attracted by conceptual and narrative design, he continued his studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven. The prolific and widely admired designer has collaborated with CC-Tapis to produce contemporary handmade rugs.
I always try to begin from a very strong idea and then work not just to make something fancy or sleek or beautiful but something that tells a story.

Good Form is excited to announce the exclusive representation of luxury rugmaker cc-tapis in New Zealand.
Maarten is known for the highly evocative, poetic and playful touch he gives his objects. He uses his work to tell stories, to stir people’s emotions, to inspire their imagination and to make them wonder. He continuously explores new materials and investigates in production techniques and crafts. The emotional aspect of objects is equally important as the functional, and he has a remarkable attention for detail. He is known for using materials in unconventional ways, and the end-result never ceases to surprise.
