Michel Martens
Michel Martens was a glass and mirror artist from Belgium. He was an autodidact and first taught himself the technique of stained windows. Martens designed about 7000 meters of stained glass between 1947 and 1989 for churches and monasteries. From 1968 onwards, he started to lose the church as the main client and therefore started to develop a practice in which he worked with mirrors that were also suitable for the private sector. Martens's artworks are part of the collection of the V&A in London and the Louvre in Paris.

Established in 2006, Morentz has a team of approximately 55 restorers, upholsterers, interior advisers and art historians, making it a gallery, workshop and upholstery studio, all in one. Every day, a carefully selected array of 20th-century furniture arrives from all over the world at the firm’s warehouse, where the team thoroughly examines each piece to determine what, if any, work needs to be done. Whether that means new upholstery or a complete restoration, Morentz's aim is always to honor the designer’s intention while fulfilling the wishes of the client. The team is up to any challenge, from restoring a single piece to its original glory to furnishing a large-scale hotel project.
