Sam Kerckaert (°1993) is a Belgian designer who lives and works in Ghent.
“My work strives for a sense of character and mobility, as if the objects are aware of their existence.
The designs merge from memory, impressions from my surroundings and a hint of familiarity. The pieces often carry traces by my hand.
To produce the objects, I look for techniques that will stand the test of time.
I want the user to cherish the objects, take them along in a lifetime and later pass them on.
Like they are heirlooms from someone they know.”
