TOM MARES
Tom Mares (1983) . 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.
