800 new design chairs now have pride of place in St Bavo’s Cathedral. The old wooden knee stools have been replaced with the famous chair no. 3 by the late Ghent designer Maarten Van Severen. The choice of the new chairs was influenced primarily by criteria such as comfort and stackability. That the decision ultimately favoured a design by a Ghent designer was a welcome bonus.
