About Nortstudio
Kathleen Opdenacker is a graphic designer, Jef De Brabander an industrial engineer. Under the name Nortstudio, they design small pieces of furniture and lighting that stand out with their graphic feel and popping colours.
After years of working for themselves, the couple decided to join their creative forces in 2016. A good move, because the Belgian design label Nortstudio is now attracting attention with striking graphic-looking designs of lamps, side tables and (book) cabinets, among other things.
The whole is a cheerful play of graphic elements and colours, or, as Nortstudio itself likes to see it, a translation of a two-dimensional graphic composition into a three-dimensional object.
