Théophile Blandet bridges craftsmanship and industrial technique, transforming everyday materials into surreal, narrative objects. Innovating through research on materials and production methods, he achieves results that make one wonder what’s really going on. By clashing the precise logic of engineering and production with curiosity, popular culture, and craft, his objects become gateways to material and immaterial futures.

The Rotterdam-based artist-designer exists outside conventional design categories. Both measured and highly experimental, he draws from functionality, abstraction, industry, craft, and culture. Under his hand, materials undergo metamorphosis—challenging expectations and transforming in unexpected, expressive ways.
