ld . philosophy

Architecture is only one expression of creativity.

lys damen studio works across landscape, art, objects and research from a single conviction: a garden, a drawing, a wall and a sentence are made of the same attention. We design living systems, ecologies begun rather than finished, beside sculptures, furniture and ideas that hold still. The medium changes. The hand does not. , volodymyr lys damen, founder

ld . studio

lys damen studio was founded in Gent by Volodymyr Lys Damen to work across disciplines rather than within one. The practice moves between planting plans and paintings, biomimicry and furniture. One studio, several rooms, a shared standard of care. Attention is the material we refuse to dilute.
