Ordinary utensils and archetypal designs get a new interpretation and are, without denying their original form, being extended with new functions.
'Ladder n°1' combines the function of a portable set of steps with the function of a storage unit. The ladder's rungs have been transformed into book cases and shelves of unequal sizes. By placing these storage units on the back of the ladder, the ladder leans against the wall with even greater stability.
Ladder and steps don't just function as a framework for the cases and shelves, they still serve as a set of steps used to reach the highest storage cases as well.

'Kist n°1' and 'Kist n°2' are very recognizable transport crates. The crates are used worldwide for transporting, among others, furniture. 'Kist n°1' and 'Kist n°2' unite the package, a crate, and its contents, furniture, into a single piece of furniture. The crate becomes a closet.
Thanks to the flush drawers 'Kist n°1' and 'Kist n°2' can be used for storing things. Thanks to their form, dimensions, solidity and sturdiness they remain however suitable for transport as well. The dainty finishing and the chosen material, solid oak, upgrade this transport crate to a piece of furniture.

Looking at form, material and appearance from different perspectives resulted in a series of seating furniture (Max Le Belge, Alu Zetel, Jo), from basic to very comfortable. Proportions, fullness and form, all change along with the viewpoint. Front, back and side of each piece may even contradict one another. Nothing is merely what it seems to be at first sight.
Almost every bedroom houses, besides the bedside table, a chair that serves as a valet. By adding a back to the bed side table or a drawer underneath the chair seat, both pieces of furniture are mutated into 'Max Le Belge', who is cumulating the functions of the bedroom chair, the valet stand and the bedside table.
'Max Le Belge' is a design from the beginning of Casimir's career, a time when he still named all his designs. Referring to the vase 'Max Le Chinois' by Philippe Starck, Casimir baptised his chair 'Max Le Belge' and dedicated it at the same time to his first son, Max.

The beam (in Flemish dialect called 'poutrel') is one of the main elements in construction with a very clear function: to support. This Poutrel is withdrawn from its usual context, surrounded by other constructional members, and reduced to the I-form.
However recognisable by its form, the use of solid wood gives Poutrel an entirely different look. At the same time the wooden Poutrel's function becomes ambiguous. Poutrel still supports, but is no longer compulsory within a construction and can therefore be used in different ways: as a bench, a table, a TV bench, ...

Some forms are omnipresent or, at least, generally recognized. These archetypal forms, however simple they may seem, often bring about innovating results when taken out of their original context and used as a new point of departure for furniture design.
By playing with dimensions in his graduation project 'Schaal n°1', Casimir spurred confusion on the form of the dish and its supposed function. Does this dish remains a dish or is it a table? Eventually, it is up to the user to decide whether 'Schaal n°1' should be a dish, a side table, or simply an object.

Schaal n°1 is a segment of a hollow solid wooden sphere and has an arched bottom. Thanks to its weight and its lowered center of gravity however, Schaal n°1 is very stable. A soft floor can increase its stability. And with the three included pegs it can be stabilised on all types of floors.
