Belgian designer Baptiste Vandaele (b. 1999) combines form and material with inventive precision. Born in Kortrijk, Vandaele developed an early interest in design while studying visual arts, which sparked his curiosity about how ideas can be transformed into real objects. He later pursued industrial design and graduated with honors from Howest University of Applied Sciences in Belgium.
After establishing his own studio, Vandaele has collaborated with several international brands in Denmark, Italy, Japan, and France. His work is characterised by timelessness, refined details, and a spirit of curiosity that continually pushes design in new and unexpected directions.
