Goedel Vermandere

For Goedel, creating begins with the material itself, with feeling, exploring and discovering what porcelain might become. She works intuitively and leaves room for the unexpected, for small imperfections and chance occurrences that give an object its own character. Her background in ceramics and jewellery design has shaped her sensitivity to form, detail and composition. Creating is an ongoing process for her, with ideas emerging and developing gradually from the material, a form, a detail or simply a thought.

Porcelain is her great passion, a material she knows intimately yet one that continues to surprise and challenge her. Within Coup-de-foudre, she translates that dedication into handcrafted light objects and sculptural lighting with a distinct identity. Every piece carries traces of the making process, with subtle differences and imperfections that are not concealed, but become part of what gives each object its individuality.

Jan Arickx

For Jan, an idea begins with the question of how it can be made possible. With technical insight, inventiveness and a keen eye for detail, he searches for solutions that allow a design to exist without overpowering it. For him, technique is not an end in itself, but an integral part of the creative process.

Within Coup-de-foudre, Jan transforms ideas into technically refined light objects and bespoke lighting. His strength lies in bringing the practical and the aesthetic together, often through solutions that remain almost invisible, yet allow a light object to become exactly what it is meant to be.

Lonne Deliens

As an architect, Lonne has developed a strong sense of space, proportion and composition.

Within Coup-de-foudre, she looks beyond the light object itself. She considers how sculptural lighting relates to an interior and its architecture, how light can alter the experience of a space and how subtle interventions can strengthen a design. This perspective also plays an important role in bespoke lighting, where the light object, the space and the architecture need to come together as one.

Lonne brings her own sensitivity and a sharp eye to the studio, introducing new perspectives that can sometimes take a design in an unexpected direction without losing its original character.
