PIETER BOSTOEN
Pieter Bostoen is a creative jack-of-all-trades with a background in interior design. Since graduating from the Luca School of Arts in Ghent, he has been researching different design disciplines with the idea that good design is a crossover between them. He founded his Ghent studio ‘pieterbostoen.com’ in 2010 and provides companies, governments and non-profit organisations with interior, graphic and product design.

The origins of a mask can be traced back thousands of years. Often surrounded by rituals or social gatherings.
It’s a tool to honor our ancestors and heroes. Become a different person, or even commit a crime.
All of this history, rituals, duality and meaning are a great starting point for my investigation. How can I translate all of this information into a personal design?
What material should I use to make a piece that reflects the profoundness of the subject?
This duality is the starting point for my project ‘Dekmantel’. A start of many questions; What do I show to the world, or better to the people around me? Do I show my most inner self or do I hide behind a ‘mask’?
With this project I want to stop people in their tracks. Let them think about their own masks in relationships with others?

After having both participated in the Contemporary Design Market 2021, Pieter Bostoen and Gilles Mayk Navangi are joining forces for the 2022 edition.
Driven and supported by Flanders Dc, this collaboration aims to promote exchange, dialogue and cultural diversity. The objective is to confront different perceptions of design and thus open the way to new visual languages and artistic movements.
For this collaboration, Pieter and Mayk dug deep into their interests, motivations and worldviews in order to come up with a project representative of their respective identities. From there on the idea was born of making objects that honor the fauna and flora. The result are ceramic vessels symbolizing endangered animals.
These objects are jars, totems, meditative sculptures, which advocate contemplation and benevolence towards the animal kingdom.
Through this project, they wish to draw attention to the tragic fate of certain animals due to the profit and exploitation of biodiversity.
Virunga National Park is the richest protected area in Africa, home to more than a thousand species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, as well as one-third of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas.
A percentage of the profits from the sales of the DEARTH project will be donated to this organization which fights against war, poaching and illegal activities in defense of animals.
Unique sculpture. Each piece gets a certificate of authenticity, signed by the artists. The sculpture can be made to order. Please note that the color for an ordered piece will be totally different than the one displayed since each piece is unique. Please feel free to contact us for any inquiries.
