Hervé Van der Straeten is an innovative designer best known for his furniture, mirrors, lighting, and accessories, including jewelry and perfume bottles. A leader in the French design and jewelry world, his work draws inspiration from the natural world, geometry, and origami, while his bold, original forms combine classical materials with modern forms. A graduate of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and honored by the French government as a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, Van der Straeten’s designs often feature voluminous forms or lattice-like constructions characterized by a sense of movement and playfulness.
