PIERRE VANO

Pierre Vano is a design studio created in 2017 by Pierre Vanobbergen. After a few years in architecture, Pierre decided to refocus his career towards design and welding.

Bio

In 2018, Eloïse Ngangura joined the studio. They form a couple at work but also life. They met in 2014 in Risoul (France) and discovered a shared passion for applied arts. Pierre imagines the objects and, from the first sketches to the end-product, there is a constant dialogue between them. And same goes each time Eloïse works at making the project grow.

Graduated from UCL/ISA Saint-Luc Tournai, Pierre Vanobbergen began creating and designing objects in 2017. Pierre left architecture & interior design to get as close as possible to the materials. He is now studying welding.

Eloïse Ngangura studied Visual and plastic arts at ESA Saint-Luc Bruxelles, followed by a master’s degree in Cultural management in 2018. After her studies and along with her professional activity, Eloïse joined Pierre in his project.

Our solution is to imagine timeless pieces, where both the materials and the aesthetics are part of a sustainable approach. Components such as steel and aluminium will resist through time, and we expect the same from our formal and minimalist designs. The prototypes are put to test in our everyday life, in a city-based apartment of 60m2.

Bedside table
Mid. 2019

The essence of this bedside table is its minimalism. It was first designed to address our need of owning the smallest possible night table. The object turned out to have multiple uses and destinations: reading corner, bedroom, entrance hall. Discreet and elegant, it is ideal in any refined space.
