LAURIDS GALLÉE

Laurids Gallée (b. 1988) is an Austrian designer based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2015.

Laurids Galléeʼs work combines his understanding of craftsmanship with a deep passion for material, as well as his personal interest for drawing and illustration. His designs are known for crossing boundaries between the old and the new, and often draw inspiration from folkloric tales and stories. Together with his use of contemporary machinery and processes, such as ink & laser-cutting techniques to dispose of colours on wood, including cedar and beech, the objects coming out of Galléeʼs workshop in Rotterdam create somewhat of a classic-contemporary fusion.
