The Belgian design scene is vast and diverse. Belgian institutions are always at the forefront of supporting the people, new projects and products that make our country dynamic and unique.
Roxane Lahidji, material poetry
How would you define yourself as a designer?
I am very drawn to the idea of collectible design, which enables us to create unique pieces. All our objects are handmade using a moulding technique. This artisanal dimension is at the heart of our approach.
You trained in Strasbourg, then at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. Tell us about your career path.
While studying graphic design and illustration in Strasbourg (HEAR), I soon came up against the limitations of 2D. What I was missing was the materiality of objects. During the rest of my Product Design course, I spent a lot of time in the workshops where the art students worked. I was less inspired by working on a concept than by the potential of a technique or a material.
