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.
