About
My Heritage in Wood
It’s safe to say that a passion for wood and art runs in my family. My grandfather, a well-known carpenter from Ypres, built an impressive joinery and established an excellent reputation. As a child, I spent countless hours in his workshop, smelling wood chips, hearing the buzz of the woodcarver, and witnessing creations come to life before my eyes. Coming from a creative family, I have always been fascinated by the beauty and possibilities of wood. My grandfather’s passion for woodworking inspires me daily.
A living story
Woodturning is a very specific skill. I learned this craft from a retired woodturner from Damme, who is considered one of the best in the country. He not only shared his techniques but also his love for the craft, which further ignited my passion. I love working with wood because it has a life of its own; it tells its story through its shape and texture. Every piece is unique. My creations are simple, timeless, and functional cuddly yet raw at the same time. With each piece I make, I hope to continue the rich tradition of my grandfather and leave my own mark on this beautiful craft.
The Design DNA
I create my own family tree in design. Each object is born from my hands, designed and crafted by me. While family is normally about blood ties, my designs share a common DNA. Together, they tell my story. My work is minimalistic, warm, sculptural, and functional. It elevates spaces with character, and passion
“I combine simplicity and functionality with timeless, minimalist and to the point design.”
