Bram Vanderbeke x Lore Van Keer

To mark 15 years of Lore Van Keer, designer Lore Van Keer enters into a dialogue with Bram Vanderbeke, bringing together two distinct practices through a shared interest in form, structure and material. The collaboration explores the space between jewellery and object, resulting in a sculptural stool and a silver necklace.

To mark 15 years of Lore Van Keer, designer Lore Van Keer enters into a dialogue with Bram Vanderbeke, bringing together two distinct practices through a shared interest in form, structure and material. The collaboration explores the space between jewellery and object, resulting in a sculptural stool and a silver necklace.

The starting point for the robust stool is the ANTHOLOGY Ring 10, one of Lore Van Keer’s signature designs. Its rhythm of stacked forms, layers and structures is translated by Vanderbeke into a three-dimensional object, combining elements from his Cast Bricks collection in cast concrete and aluminium. The alternating materials create a layered composition in which weight, texture and geometry define the form.

Each object is made using a new mould, making every piece unique. Produced in a limited edition of up to eight pieces and made to order, the object is designed for both indoor and outdoor use.

The necklace brings the same dialogue into jewellery. Composed of loose rings in different shapes and finishes, the long silver chain is worn without a clasp, simply pulled over the head. A newly designed link ring refers to the concrete elements of the Cast Bricks collection, translating the language of the stool into a wearable form.

Across both pieces, the collaboration moves between scale and function while maintaining a shared focus on material and structure. What begins as a language of layered forms unfolds into two distinct objects, each exploring the point where jewellery, design and architecture meet.
