HADGE

HADGE

HADGE is an architecture, interior and furniture practice established in 2020 by Dieter Vlieghe. He graduated with a Master of Architecture from KULeuven St. Lucas in Ghent in 2015 and worked with other architects and designers before founding the studio. His practice connects the scale of interiors with that of furniture and objects, drawing on minimalism and brutalism to develop clear volumes and tactile surfaces. Architectural illustration is an essential part of this approach. Hatching, the parallel and crossing lines used to suggest depth in a drawing, becomes a means of thinking about texture, structure and the way light travels across a form.

The collection grows from this attention to the drawn line and the qualities of materials. Rounded corners, beveled planes and stepped volumes give familiar furniture types a distinct architectural character, expressed through simple, carefully considered forms.

Steel, wood, stone and earthen finishes offer different ways of working with reflection, texture and color. The studio’s material palette supports a range of finishes and bespoke adaptations, while handmade production gives each piece individual characteristics. Patination is part of the work: surfaces are intended to change with time, carrying traces of use rather than remaining fixed. Natural light also shapes how the objects are perceived, revealing edges and volumes differently throughout the day. Alongside the furniture collection, HADGE develops residential and art related projects, extending the same interest in form, material and atmosphere to the spaces in which people live.
