Fontein & Bova is a young, small-scale Belgian company with big dreams, specializing in the design and crafting of distinctive, solid wood designer furniture with great respect for craftsmanship and an eye for detail. All our pieces are entirely handmade in Belgium (Wichelen) by our small team of craftspeople with a tremendous passion for the material and the craft. High-quality hardwood such as oak and walnut are consistently used to achieve the most sustainable and high end result possible. Our partners, including those providing fabrics used in our upholstery, are carefully selected to ensure a reliable, 100% Belgian quality label.

During 3daysofdesign, Fontein & Bova will present well-known pieces from their Hugo collection, as well as a stunning, one-of-a-kind bar cabinet showcasing their proud heritage in true Belgian craftsmanship. Every piece is handmade with a passion for the material and an eye for detail. For the occasion, the Lapidarium of Kings will serve as a showroom for the beautiful contemporary works by the up-and-coming brand.

Where attachment begins. Moifani is a furniture brand launched in 2021 by SHIKI, an Okawa–based manufacturer in Japan. Design by SATEREO, the Portugal–based studio of Japanese designer Keita Sato. Its distinctive forms emerge as flowing curves that draw out the tactile warmth of solid wood and invite a lasting relationship between people and furniture. In Moifani’s work, form is never arbitrary; it grows from the quiet dialogue between people, material, and everyday life. The Pombo collection, a series of dining chairs and tables, marks the brand’s latest release.
