Jan Goderis was born in 1966, Ghent, Belgium. He graduated “Cum Laude” in Interior Design at the renowned  Art and Architecture college Sint-Lucas in Ghent, Belgium.

           During his professional career, he continues to extend the boundaries in designing, architecture, interior architecture, furniture, lighting and objects. His projects vary from private to public procurement and restorations of listed monuments.

         During the developing process of projects, there are always many new ideas for furniture and object designs and, over the past 25 years, he has been keeping many sketch diaries with impressions for furniture designs.
