1    What is your role at La Fabrika?

I am interior designer and the founder of La Fabrika and La Fabrika Studio

2    What do you like most about your job?

What I love most about my job is the act of creation. Whether it's delving into a new interior design project or strategizing for the shop, the process of starting something new fills me with energy and enthusiasm.

3    How/where do you live?

I live in a duplex apartment with a charming city garden in Jette, Brussels.  I bought it in 2022 and recently renovated it.  The only thing left to do now is decorate and to tackle the garden and install a roof terrace

4    What is your favourite spot in the house?

The living room!

5    Which colour always puts you in a good mood?

The colour that consistently uplifts my mood is lilac.

 
FAVOURITE ITEM: Arcs vase

6    What tip would you give to people who want to revamp their interior but don't know where to start?

Kickstart with a moodboard.  It really helps you to get a clear vision of what you want and it's a great compass that steers you through decisions.

7   What is your ultimate tip for creating an ambient space?

For an ambient atmosphere, layering is the secret sauce

8   What is the most valuable piece of interior design advice you have ever received and how has it influenced you?

Don’t be afraid to use colour ;-)  Embrace it fearlessly

9   Which design item is currently your favourite?

Oh, there are too many.  But if I have to choose one it’s the mirrored Arcs vase from Muller Van Severen.  Just as beautiful with or without flowers.

10   What is your favourite way to relax after a busy day at work?

Sharing drinks and dinner with friends or diving into board games with my son, Leon.

11   How would you describe your colleagues in 1 word?

Powerful
