Elias Van Orshaegen & Koen Van Guijze

Belgium

After a career of more than 25 years in the lighting business as a lighting architect, Koen van Guijze decided to create his own lighting designs. This resulted in a brutalist yet contemporary collection of basics for walls, ceilings and floor lamps.

Elias Van Orshaegen has an intuitive hands-on approach where atmosphere, clear forms and the sensory qualities of materials are central. Fascinated by primary cultures and the forms they used, Elias translates these inspirations into functional objects with a certain simplicity and subtlety.
