Mahaut Van Peel

Born in 1995; Belgian designer Mahaut Van Peel obtained her master’s degree in Textile Design at ENSAV La Cambre in 2019. Following her graduation, she earned her stripes working in a leather weaving factory for the luxury market. In 2021 she recentered her values on the fundamental aesthetic and balance of the materials behind each object and opened her own studio the same year in the Brussels city center. Based on the realization of the full process, like a recipe, the production of Mahaut rise from the blend of noble resources in 3 dimensions. She considers her work as an experimental laboratory in the quest for new elements, sources of colors, textures and techniques. As a designer she is drawn to industrial know-how and likes to get inspired by it in order to put her own spin on it. In her atelier, she designs and produces all of her work by hand, mixing craft consciously.
