From December 18th to February 1st, Carpenters Workshop Gallery will show the work of Lachaert & D’Hanis in collaboration with Valérie_Traan Gallery.

Sofie Lachaert and Luc d’Hanis have been working together for nearly 20 years. Their lives and work are inextricably intertwined. The concept of «shared» creativity runs like a thread through their work. Each project is a joint adventure, each piece the result of a perfect symbiosis between designer Sofie Lachaert and artist Luc d’Hanis.

In their objects, furniture as well as installations they simply ignore the boundaries between art, crafts and design. Their subtle interventions give everyday objects a new significance, an unexpected beauty.
In d’Hanis & Lachaert’s vanitas interpretation a number of traditional references converge.

The burning candle points to the passing of time, the books, once a symbol of wisdom, now transformed into a decorative object, each book with a hidden story, completed with the personal story of the previous owners.

ABOUT CARPENTERS WORKSHOP GALLERY

Carpenters Workshop Gallery transcends classical borders in terms of art and design. Its proposal stands just at the intersection of these two universes: reaching precisely a symbiosis of art and design.

Carpenters Workshop Gallery produces and exhibits functional sculptures by international rising and already established artists and designers going outside their traditional territories of expression.

The gallery is actively involved in the research and production of the limited edition works exhibited.The choices are guided by the research of an emotional, artistic and historical relevance; a relevance that appears as an evidence.
