Jeroen De Ruddere
Jeroen De Ruddere is a Belgian designer creating sculptural lighting objects rooted in material, proportion and emotional presence. Each piece begins with an idea, a tension that needs to be felt, and is guided by a deep respect for sustainable materials, form and timeless simplicity. Drawing inspiration from nature, architecture and human sensibility, his designs balance strength and softness. Solid wood bases in oak, walnut or mahogany are combined with carefully selected textiles, resulting in objects that feel both architectural and sculptural. Jeroen De Ruddere creates objects that transforms atmosphere. Each piece carries a distinct signature and is designed to endure, both in quality and in character.
For 3daysofdesign, Jeroen De Ruddere presents an evolution of his collection under the title The Air Between. Jeroen De Ruddere is presented his sculptural lighting designs. They articulate a distinct design language while shaping the space around them. The exhibition explores the air between objects. Between form and proportion. Between material and light. Between people gathered in conversation. Solid wood grounds the space with quiet strength. Natural textiles soften the presence of light, allowing it to diffuse gently into its surroundings. In this setting, design creates the conditions for presence, for what unfolds in the air between.
