Born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium. I run an independent graphic design practice and teach at Sint Lucas Antwerpen.

Vrints-Kolsteren is founded by Vincent Vrints and Naomi Kolsteren and based in Antwerp. We work locally and internationally and offer creative direction, photography and graphic design. We engage in ongoing partnerships and are creating a network of creative talent by working in a collaborative way.

Sterk Water is the moniker of Frank Schouwaerts. Art director with a keen eye for graphic design & typography that likes to cross the boundaries between graphic and conceptual design.

STUDIO HELDER is an Antwerp-based design platform, founded by Diana Keller and Brecht Baert in 2010. We’ve designed interiors for private housing, showrooms and workspaces, we give advice, organise workshops and host exhibitions and events. In our store we show objects we designed ourselves as well as furniture, jewelry, accessories and other items made by upcoming, talented artists from all over the world. In everything we do, as diverse as our occupations are, some things are always present: We care about subtlety and creativity. We’re endlessly fascinated by the little nuances and changes that turn something ordinary into an inspiring and beautiful object. To quote the brilliant philosopher ‘Lorax’ from Dr. Seuss: “It’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become.”

Woche is a collection of jewelry that can be worn on a daily basis until it almost becomes second skin. Its name translates to ‘week’ in German. Wearing these pieces makes them adjust to the body, with small changes in patina, colour and shape.  The Belgian label, established in 2016 by Clarisse Bruynbroeck, does not work according to a seasonal approach but rather evolves through time as an unfettered collection. Coincidence and imperfection are aspects that return within the handmade pieces, in shape, material and technique. The apparent fragility only contributes to the aesthetics and does not affect the wearability of the jewelry.
