1. WE HONOUR OUR FAMILY ROOTS
Serax is the brainchild of SERge and AXel Van Den Bossche. Two brothers who were brought up amidst the flowerpot trade in their mother’s business. Over the past thirty years, the small-scale business that started up in a garage in 1986 has grown into a multinational with over 65 employees and a head office in Antwerp. Today, the company is led by Axel. Axel’s wife – Marie Michielssen – is Serax’ house designer. She is the creator of, amongst other things, the famous ‘Cactus Vase’. Serax is a family business where passion runs through the veins.
2. WE CHERISH DESIGNERS
Working with upcoming and renowned designers is built into Serax’ DNA. In 1990, the brand started a tentative collaboration with Peter Arts, which was quite revolutionary in the florist design industry.
One year later, Serax achieved international fame, thanks to the collaboration with floral artist Daniel Ost, who designed ‘The Flower Booth’ for the French design fair Maison & Objet. The seed was planted. Since then, Serax has entered into dozens of partnerships that have resulted in renowned collections and success at an international level.
3. WE HAVE A TABLEWARE LOVE STORY
When founder Axel met ceramic artist Roos van de Velde in 2009, he wasn’t aware that this encounter would change the future of his company forever. After the launch of her tableware collection, starred restaurants from all over the world suddenly lined up to order from Serax. Today, Serax is the number one reference for Michelin chefs to provide them with the necessary creative porcelain or ceramics that enhance the aesthetics of their dishes.
4. WE DESIGN HAPPINESS
All Serax collections – from tableware, glass, and furniture to flowerpots and lighting – are all carefully chosen for the purpose of creating interiors that bring happiness. The interior of a home is the mirror of the personality of the people living in it. Therefore, Serax and its team of designers only selects and edits products that have soul.
5. WE BELIEVE CRAFTSMANSHIP IS THE ONLY WAY
Over the past thirty years, Serax has been growing at a very fast rate. Yet it has never lost track of its basic principles. Therefore, every collection is crafted traditionally. Serax travels the globe with selected prototypes from designers to find the right craftsmen to manufacture on a larger scale. From Vietnam through Antwerp to Portugal. Always in line with the creator’s design and philosophy.
