Tom Andries (b. Leuven 1969) is a Belgian multidisciplinary designer and contemporary artist. His main body of work consists of monochromes painted in heavily textured black ink. Tom uncovers the essence and hidden beauty of typography, abstracting basic geometric forms from letters. Trained as a typographer and graphic designer, Tom also founded a thriving branding agency called Today, which he is still passionately running.

Tom Andries’ artistic practice consists of series of abstracts painted in black ink directly onto the canvas. With a few strokes of a heavy brush, he covers the surface from edge to edge, creating abstract forms derived from typography. Often working in black on white, he purposefully uses curve-linear and angular compositions to add tension.

With many years of expertise as an interior architect and furniture designer, Tine Loncin has honed her skills in conversions and renovations, ranging from small-scale projects to large, comprehensive undertakings for both public and private clients.

_Over time, Tine developed a deep affinity for furniture design. The intricate process of designing and creating a piece of furniture fuels her urge to experiment and her curiosity, driven by the insights gained from failed tests. She embraces the fallibility of the process, the close collaboration in the studio with workers, and the shared quest for a final product. It’s like an eternal pursuit of a final victory that may never come.

_Her goal is to let the object speak for itself. A clear, uncomplicated concept is the common thread in her designs. Tine never shapes a form merely for its beauty; her design pragmatically flows from material use, function, concept.
