We design with the logic of the Scandinavians and the sexiness of the Italians.
PJMARES is an Interior & Object Studio and the creator of the Fabulous NOMAX kitchen.
Anton Gonnissen, CEO of ABS Bouwteam. LIKE PJMARES in touch with primal feelings and keen on superb executions.
The NOMAX kichten system is our signature product. We are inspired by natural and warm materials that are meant to age beautiful, such as wood, steel, marble and leather. Every piece we create becomes more beautiful over time. This ‘design for use’ philosophy ensures timeless and iconic products, while still feeling very contemporary.
Get to know the design duo behind PJMARES: Peter-Jan Scherpereel and Tom Mares.
PJMARES
Stands for Peter-Jan Scherpereel & Tom Mares.
PJ
Peter-Jan Scherpereel (1966) is a Belgian architect and one half of the brain behind PJMARES design studio.
Nickname: PJ. Gifted spatial thinker.
Instantly recognisable by his dark-rimmed specs.
Scherpereel grew up the son of an architect.
Design, interior, art and architecture were staples in his formative years.
Loves sailing and skiing with speed. But cherishes above all the company of good friends, accompanied by a glass of fine wine and a tasty meal.
Peter-Jan started his career as an independant architect and collaborated with multiple well-known offices.
Nowadays he continues to take a keen interest in architecture, yet the focal point of his interest has moved increasingly towards interior and product design.
MARES
Tom Mares (1983) is a Belgian designer and the other half of the brain behind PJMARES.
Design fanatic. Coffee addict. Beard optional.
Mares studied interior design in Ghent and at Sint-Lukas in Brussels.
After completing his work placements at Fabiaan van Severen and Danny Venlet, he took a specialist year in Furniture Design at the KH Mechelen (now Lessius University College Mechelen), Where he ultimately joined forces with Dirk Meylaerts.
After completing his work placement at his studio, the collaboration culminated in a partnership offer.
An offer he couldn’t refuse.
Together they designed and developed projects such as the Kaaitheater and The Hub Brussels.
In 2007, Tom set up WE ARE NO DESIGN, a studio specializing in interior design projects for private customers, public spaces and scenic design for exhibitions and events.
In 2012, Mares focused all his attentions on ‘Studio Showroom’.
Shortly after, Peter-Jan Scherpereel joined the collective. Fast forward to 2014:
Studio Showroom took on its current incarnation, a.k.a. PJMARES.
