90s Boonzaaijer & Mazairac ‘totus sm10’ dining chairs for Hennie de Jong set/4

After his education at the Artibus academy in Utrecht, Pierre Mazairac worked for various employers as a stylist and interior architect. In 1972 he joined the furniture factory UMS-Pastoe in Utrecht. In 1980, together with Karel Boonzaadjer, he started his own design agency in Zeist, Mazairac and Boonzaadjer & partners. Later the design agency was called Mazairac Boonzaadjer en Van Tellingen & partners. It specialized in industrial design with a focus on furniture design and had a separate section that focused on architecture. Clients were important national and international manufacturers, including Pastoe, Hennie de Jong, Leolux, Metaform, Castelijn, Arco, Agape, IKEA. The partnership ended in 1995.

Pierre Mazairac has been living in Switzerland since 1996. Nowadays he mainly focuses on the so-called ‘leisure design’ (holiday parks, hotels and restaurants).
