Lionel Doyen
Koen Van Extergem
Beyond the aesthetics
Designer of Kumo & Solid
With a practical understanding of product usability and an eye for fine
details, Lionel Doyen (1978) takes a slightly different approach to design
and development. Specialised in service, product and industrial design,
the French designer aims to create on a more personal and experimental
level, always keeping the customer’s experience in mind. His style can
best be described as innovative and timeless, as he consistently looks
beyond mere aesthetic appeal. He designed the Kumo & Solid collections
for Manutti, blending design with everyday comfort. In 2013, he launched
his own design studio.
Great in simplicity
Designer of Air
Through his elegant minimalistic style, Belgian designer Koen Van
Extergem (1989) has brought a sense of purity and lightness to Manutti.
He studied product development and furniture design and joined the
Manutti design team in 2013. Koen is the creative mind behind the Air
collection, a durable outdoor table collection meticulously crafted. His
designs perfectly reflect his talent for blending elegance, warmth and
minimalism.
