Designer
Joeri Reynaert, the Belgian designer behind the Nomadic Collection, runs his own design studio and teaches design at several universities. Before founding his agency, he worked as an in-house product developer for renowned European brands, including Extremis in Belgium and Foscarini in Italy.
His approach — rooted in user-centred innovation, material authenticity and cultural sensitivity — shapes the Nomadic Collection: traditional weaving and tanning techniques, developed together with Tibetan artisans, translated into calm, contemporary forms.

Care
Care
Every MATSU piece is made from carefully selected materials. With a little regular care it will keep its character for many years. If you have any questions, our team is happy to advise.
Wood
Dust weekly with a soft, lint-free cloth; clean with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then dry immediately. Treat occasionally with beeswax or furniture oil, working with the grain. Protect from direct heat, strong sunlight and large changes in humidity, and wipe up spills straight away.
Kvadrat and Gabriel fabrics
Vacuum regularly with an upholstery attachment. Treat stains by dabbing with a mild soap or upholstery-shampoo solution, working from the outside in, then blot dry and leave to air-dry. Test any cleaner on a hidden area first; avoid steam cleaning, soaking and harsh chemicals. For heavily used pieces, we recommend an annual professional clean.
