(Caroline Goosens in Belgian newspaper De Standaard) "André Verroken is a Flemish furniture artist, for whom the social and aesthetic aspect of a piece of furniture has just as much value as its usefulness. Verroken has gradually developed its own style and enriched the world with furniture that also has a cultural load, which are sober and radiate warmth, which are at the same time a piece of furniture and a work of art, and which carry a poetry that you rarely find in other furniture."
