Dirk Wynants (1964) is the founder and owner of Extremis, the
innovative Belgian design label. He is also the company's head
designer and devised the powerful branding concept 'Tools for
Togetherness'. Extremis gained an international reputation as a
trendsetter in outdoor furniture in just a few years, and this
success story is closely linked to the inspired personality and
ideals of its entrepreneur-designer. He considers contemporary
design more than simply a matter of trendy and attractive objects;
it is all about innovative solutions that can make the world a
better place. Since 2007 Dirk Wynants Design Works or (dw)2 has
been an independent entity and is open to design assignments from
outside Extremis. Since Extremis was launched in 1994, Dirk Wynants
has won countless international awards (e.g. the Henry Van de Velde
Award, the iF and Red Dot Awards, Good Design, IDEA, DME and so
on). The design critic Chris Meplon has been keeping a close eye on
the Belgian and international design scene for years. Her purpose
in this book is to discover the secrets behind the unique success
story of the pioneering Extremis company.
