Maarten De Ceulaer

Maarten De Ceulaer was born in 1983 in Belgium and studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Maarten is known for the highly evocative, poetic and playful touch he gives his objects. He uses his work to tell stories, to stir people’s emotions, to inspire their imagination and to make them wonder. He continuously explores new materials and investigates production techniques and crafts. The emotional aspect of objects is equally important as the functional, and he has remarkable attention to detail. He likes to use materials in unconventional ways, and his objects never cease to surprise.

He has won several awards, among which the Belgian Young Designer award in 2007, and the Belgian Designer Of The Year award in 2025.
