Workshop location
Marc's workshop is 30 minutes by car from central Brussels.
This place is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Passionate about wood, Marc was just 14 years old when he began his training in carpentry and cabinet making. At 24, he launched his own cabinet making and interior woodworking business. He became an expert: he knows everything there is about wood and works it in all its forms.
A few years later, his curiosity and passion led him to train on the wood lathe, as well as in the field of wood carving.
Marc loves detail and produces stunning pieces. In his large workshop, filled to the brim with different varieties of wood and various works in progress, he now passes on his expertise with determination and a respect for tradition!
