In her work, Debora aims to make the invisible visible. She gives form to abstract ideas, emotions, moods, or concepts through objects, videos, or interiors that carry both playfulness and depth.
Her creations often stem from a deeply personal experience or observation, translating the way she perceives the world into something others can see, feel, or connect with.
Inspired by the layered nature of life and the complexity of being humans, she explores how to give shape to what can’t easily be put into words. Her visual language is intuitive and abstract, yet deliberately playful. Always inviting a second look, a moment of wonder, or a shift in perspective.

As a designer, Debora strives to create objects that spark a sense of wonder, pieces that may appear sculptural or abstract at first, but reveal a surprising function upon closer look. She believes design has the power to touch people beyond aesthetics, by inviting play, evoking memory, or quietly supporting emotional well-being. With a deep curiosity for how form, material and atmosphere interact, she aims to design in a way that resonates on multiple levels, blending visual poetry with thoughtful craftsmanship.

ECHOES was born out of friendship and a shared passion for design. In 2023, designer Olivier Daelman and furniture maker Toon Van der Gucht – STOONIE joined forces to establish a collaboration dedicated to creating furniture and objects in Sint-Niklaas en Ghent (Belgium).

Their work is deeply rooted in the rich heritage of design and architectural history, while consciously exploring connections across disciplines.

Guided by the belief that “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”, ECHOES embraces collaboration as a core principle. The duo works not only on its own designs but also engages local makers and experts, fostering creative exchange as the foundation of its practice.

The first prototypes were launched in late 2024 and the debut collection has been available since early 2025.

Olivier studied interior design at Sint-Lucas and previously co-founded MAN architecten, DON and ROSSO.
In 2019, Toon established his own studio specializing in bespoke furniture.
Together, they bring their fascination for spatial design, furniture, and architecture to life through ECHOES.

Onas approaches design as a journey, a meticulous process where craftsmanship and materiality are paramount. His work with steel, characterized by an honest and meticulous handling of materials, reflects a deep understanding of and respect for the natural world. By blending traditional techniques with contemporary experimentation, Onas creates pieces that honor the integrity of their materials, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty inherent in their raw, unrefined states.

oskar de roover objects is a studio for furniture and sculptural objects, founded by Oskar De Roover in Antwerp, Belgium. Rooted in a deep respect for material and time, the studio explores how objects can carry memory, meaning, and longevity through thoughtful design.

Each piece begins with reclaimed natural stone – once part of sills, mantels, or facades – carefully sourced across Belgium. These fragments, marked by previous lives, are reassembled without harm or excess, using reversible techniques that honour their integrity and allow for future transformation.

With a focus on material authenticity and quiet presence, the work invites a slower way of seeing—revealing new narratives about value, impermanence, and the poetry of the everyday.

Besides this part of his practice, De Roover works as a freelance interior architect and as an assistant at the University of Antwerp.

T_NE LONC_N  is a Belgian designer from Brussels with an exploratory and conceptual approach to design.
Her starting point is never the form itself, but rather the context, use, and material that shape the direction of the work.

In her practice, she challenges techniques and materials in close collaboration with craftsmen. Her approach is consistent and meticulous: through simple structures and clear, legible forms, she creates objects with substance. A clear and authentic concept runs as a guiding thread through each design. Form never arises by chance, but always from a deliberate and precise intention.

This is how objects gain meaning through their simplicity and subtle expression.

Veerle Verschooren designs with stained glass.
Her roots are in the Waasland region, as the great-granddaughter of clog makers and seamstresses.
She studied at the Sint-Lucas Institute in Ghent, where she graduated as a ‘Master in Glass Art’ (1999). Veerle also studied under teachers such as Michèle Perozeni and Udo Zembok (l’Ecole supérieur des arts decoratifs Strasbourg, France), Miloslava Svobodova and Koen Vanderstukken (Institute for Artistic Crafts Mechelen).
Veerle gradually discovered that she has a talent for ‘making’ and that the blood of her ancestors flows through her veins.
She started her own studio in 2000. First part-time, and then fully self-employed from 2010. This allowed Veerle to concentrate on designing and experimenting with this ancient but very much alive craft.
