Youth club Den Couter
Poperinge, Belgium
In projects, Gargantua
Jeugdhuis Den Couter was established in 1997 by a group of youngsters. To this day it is still a major hotspot for the youth of the city of Poperinge. It was conceived as a safe space where the youth can be young, meet each other, have a drink, enjoy their first concerts, in an atmosphere of mutual respect and care for one another. And where people come together, Extremis tools for togetherness can thrive.
The Togetherness Table
Designed by Dirk Wynants and launched alongside the Extremis brand in 1994, the Gargantua table was a groundbreaking debut. These round tables have already graced the garden and terrace of the Den Couter youth club already, proving their timeless appeal and enduring quality.
In a semi-public space like this, furnishings must be exceptionally sturdy and vandal-resistant—a standard Gargantua meets this effortlessly. With frequent nightly events in the garden, the tables also excel in withstanding stains of all kinds, from greasy pizza spills to red wine splashes.
The verdict? Gargantua is loved for its stylish design and highly valued for its low-maintenance durability by both the staff and visitors of Den Couter. A true testament to Extremis' commitment to creating "tools for togetherness."
