Design talk means taking some time to meet the face behind a brand. Today, we want to introduce you to Jan Van Look, the founder of the Belgian design brand KABINET VAN LOOK.
A passion for creative functionality
A self-taught designer based in Antwerp, Van Look founded his own design studio in 2010. A skilled and passionate artist with a passion for creative functionality, he uses inspirations of the moment to create innovative, artful objects that showcase his trademark high-quality minimalism. He draws inspiration from the schools of design of the 20th century, from Russian suprematism to Mondrian-era abstraction. His works have been shown at a number of European exhibitions and design fairs, lauded for their simplicity and the innovative spirit of transforming common perceptions of space and depth.
