Belgian design would not be the same without the vision and craftsmanship of Bieke Casteleyn. The designer is known for her ability to push boundaries and break traditional expectations. Her interiors, furniture collections and objects exude a rare combination of refinement and audacity. Since launching her studio ten years ago, she has developed a unique style that is both innovative and timeless.
In 2015, Casteleyn introduced her first piece from the Out of Line collection, making a powerful statement. With organic, sculptural shapes, she created a signature that deviates from the beaten track. Her designs reflect a vision that plays with contrasts: unexpected combinations of materials, colours and techniques create energy, while at the same time maintaining a sense of harmony. Her creations transcend the functional and are often seen as works of art, where form, light and texture merge into a whole that tells more than words can say. In her studio, Casteleyn follows a deliberate, slow working method. Each design is given the time and attention it deserves, from the first sketch to the final realisation. Her team of craftsmen work exclusively with the best materials, with each piece being handmade and subject to strict quality control. This process reflects her dedication to iconic standards and an uncompromising vision of excellence. She is not only a master of furniture design; her expertise in complete interior concepts distinguishes her as one of the most versatile designers in Flanders. Her projects range from high-end renovations to new construction, always focusing on the lifestyle and personality of her clients. Her eye for detail ensures that each space exudes a unique atmosphere, with a perfect balance between shape, color and light. This combination of precision and creativity makes her work a symphony of design and functionality.

The Out of Line collection embodies Casteleyn’s innovative approach to design. The tables, with their sculptural shapes and playful aesthetics, are more than just pieces of furniture – they add an artistic dimension to everyday life. This collection is a perfect example of how she combines her expertise as an interior designer and product developer to create something completely new. Bieke Casteleyn continues to be a source of inspiration, demonstrating with every project that design is not just a craft, but an art form that enriches spaces and tells stories. What makes her so unique is her ability to combine innovation with timelessness. Her designs do not follow trends, but create their own style that remains relevant for years to come. This vision is deeply rooted in her respect for craftsmanship and her quest for meaningful designs. Whether it is a renovation project or a custom-made piece of furniture, Casteleyn strives to evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression. Every detail in her work is considered, from the texture of a material to the way light fills a space. In doing so, she shows that design is not only a visual art, but also an experience that appeals to all the senses.
