Diane Steverlynck lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
After a pedagogical degree in Fine Arts and a Master in Textile Design, she set up her studio in 2003.
Since then, she follows a specific approach centered on the creative potential and transversal nature of textile. Her work focusses on the specificities of materials, structures and the process of making, involving the use and identity of everyday objects.

Rather than a formal will, the shape, aesthetic, and poetry in her projects, result from care and attention to the materials, as much as the gestures and stories that they suggest, both in their use and in their manufacturing process. Crossbreeding heterogeneous cultural references, her creations respond to universal uses while carrying the trace of collective and personal memories.

Beside self-initiated productions, she runs collaborative projects with designers, artists and architects. Her presence at international shows has led to collaborations with carpet and furnishing editors such as : Limited Edition (Be), Ligne Roset (Fr), Objekten (Be), Superette (Lu), Trico (Jp) . In 2014, she founded the label laend together with the duo Chevalier-Masson.

Diane’s work is represented by the Valerie Traan gallery in Antwerp and has been part of exhibitions at the Stedelijk Museum S’Hertogenbosch, Centre d’Innovation et du Design Grand-Hornu, the Atomium Brussels, the Ghent Design Museum, the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam and more.

Since 2006, she is a teacher at the textile design department of the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten (KASK), School of Arts in Ghent.
