Miel Cardinael

Miel Cardinael (BE), designer of things and spaces.

Clamping tools, glue, coffee and scale models: things which are always hanging around. At home parts lie about without any clear purpose until, over time, ten different versions exist. Prototypes come and go. Sketches on the back of a child’s drawing.

A special and enduring bond between the object and its user is the starting point. Miel goes for an experimental approach to material, construction and user experience. Test, examine, set aside and start again. Plane and sand. Seeing solutions to problems you don’t yet have.
