Gommaire is a Belgian interior and exterior furniture brand founded in 1999 by Gommaire Cleybergh, an antiques dealer from Antwerp whose love of weathered wood, honest craftsmanship and quiet Flemish interiors evolved into one of Europe's most distinctive living brands. Over twenty-five years later, Gommaire has grown from a single Antwerp showroom into an international house distributed in more than thirty countries, while retaining the soft, patinated aesthetic and the emphasis on natural materials that have always defined the founder's personal taste.
The Gommaire universe is unmistakable: aged teak tables whose tops are so deeply grained they appear almost driftwood; generous linen-upholstered sofas and armchairs in washed natural tones; lime-washed wood cabinets that recall Belgian monastic furniture; woven rope lounge chairs that sit easily in an Antwerp townhouse or an Ibiza villa; stone and ceramic objects chosen for their texture; and an extensive outdoor programme that merges Flemish farm simplicity with contemporary comfort. The brand is widely celebrated for a form of "rustic modernism" — a warm, imperfect, lived-in aesthetic that sits between Belgian minimalism and Mediterranean hospitality.
Gommaire's collections are organised across four pillars: indoor furniture, outdoor furniture, decorative accessories, and textiles. Signature pieces include the Sally teak armchair, the Zeno console, the Christo console, the Faye lounge chair in both upholstered and rope versions, the Dining tables in reclaimed and aged teak, and a growing selection of lighting and ceramics. A dedicated outdoor line is engineered for heavy weather exposure: teak is sourced from FSC-certified Javanese plantations, aluminium frames are marine-grade, ropes are fully UV-resistant, and all outdoor textiles are solution-dyed performance fabrics chosen for their ability to age softly rather than fade.
Headquartered in Sint-Katelijne-Waver near Antwerp, Gommaire designs every piece in-house and manages its own manufacturing in partnership with long-standing craft workshops in Europe and Asia. The brand operates flagship showrooms in Antwerp, Knokke, Brussels, Paris and Palma de Mallorca, staged as full residential interiors that allow visitors to experience the entire Gommaire universe rather than isolated products. A busy contract and hospitality division delivers furniture to villas, boutique hotels and beach clubs across Europe, the Middle East and the US.
For clients pursuing a soft, tactile, timeless interior — one that favours patina over polish, natural fibre over synthetic, and proportion over decoration — Gommaire has built one of the most coherent and emotionally resonant catalogues in the contemporary Belgian tradition.
