To avoid any confusion: MAFF is not the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, even though we’re huge fans of dogs and food. MAFF is a committed Antwerp-based design studio founded by Claudio Pascariello and Elke Treunen. We are great and easy to work with. No fussing, we do what we say and say what we do. Small projects, big projects, events, you name it. We love to surprise our clients with smart and creative solutions. Have a look!

Ileana Moro (b1992) Costa Rica. Currently, she lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium. Moro’s artworks are recognized mainly for her painting in dark tones wanting to expose the depths and layers of experiences as an instinctive relationship to the invisible things and the emotions buried within her daily life. Some represent abstract themes and isolated forms interacting within each other to archieve an intimate emotional issues, mental statements and spiritual transfiguration to awaken the soul, the unseen. Seeking to achieve a balance through the transformation from shadow to light believing that the shadow is a dark omen. A powerful teacher. Having spent her life in Costa Rica and outside. Ileana started in architecture and swiftly found Fine Art as the better way to explore her creativity and curiosity. Her artworks are held in private collections throughout the United States, Australia, the UK, Asia and Europe.

Louise Mertens runs an art studio based in Antwerp, Belgium. Her work as an art director became a trademark of herself. The studio became a place where her personal artwork and carefully selected client work come together. Her visual world combines the admiration for human forms & futurism with purity, sophistication and the incomprehensible. Her eye for aesthetics leads to international client projects ranging from concepts, campaign visuals & creative direction. 

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.
