Born in Brussels in 1991 and based in Ghent, Pierre De Valck is a designer whose work is deeply informed by a lifelong fascination with archaeology and the collecting of historical artefacts. His creations embody a dialogue between deep geological time and contemporary form—modern antiquities that invite the rediscovery of an ancestral past.
De Valck’s furniture and objects are distinguished by the manual inlay of rare minerals and stones of exceptional historical significance. These materials, left untouched in their natural state, carry with them the marks of ancient processes and human history. By integrating them into functional forms, he transcends mere utility, transforming each work into a singular artefact—both unique and authentic—serving as a testament to our collective memory. His pieces stand as vessels of time, bridging past and present through material and form.
