Extremis

Informations générales

• Extremis was founded in 1994. Dirk Wynants’ first brainchild was the multifunctional garden table Gargantua, which has in the meantime become a true design classic.
• In less than five years time Extremis managed to secure a solid position on the international design market. Major contributor to this success was the Extempore range, introducing the combination of wood and aluminium, which is still very popular today.
• Although Extremis mainly focuses on the outdoor furniture market, several of its products (such as Picnik and Kosmos) have turned out to be perfectly at home indoors as well.
• Right from the start, Extremis has resolutely chosen to focus on export. Today exports account for 78% of the total turnover. Extremis is especially popular in its neighbouring countries, as well as in the United States and the Middle East.
• Several designs are patented proving that Extremis is not only about design but also and primarily about technological innovation. “Design follows function” is much more than just a slogan for Extremis.
• Extremis takes pride in delivering each order to the end customer no more than two weeks from the order date. Stock management represents a considerable cost for Extremis, but as outdoor furniture is a seasonal product (at least in Western Europe), it is also the company’s real strength.
