Barbara Thevelein is an architect from Belgium, born in Roeselare, and a graduate of the University of Ghent, where she studied Architectural Engineering. After her studies, she spent three years living in Amsterdam, working at a small but inspiring architecture practice. Upon returning to Belgium, she joined Osar Architects in Antwerp and later Dhooge–Meganck Architectuur in Ghent. She is currently part of the team at Sergison Bates Architects in London.
Beyond architecture, she has always had a deep love for fine design and art objects. From a young age, she surrounded herself with beautiful and meaningful pieces — a habit that shaped the eclectic collection in her family home.
This passion for objects and materials led her to develop a series of marble lamps. Drawn to natural materials, she believes strongly in treating the planet’s resources with care and respect. Each lamp is made from leftover or second-hand marble. The natural veining or damage left in sight brings the light to life. The pieces are assembled without glue and can be easily dismantled — designed as unique, sustainable, and sculptural lighting objects.
