Yani Vandenbranden is a Ghent based object designer and artist who combines industrial product design with furniture design. Her work rises from a great respect for the world and interests for social and  ecological fields.

 

Her process is an experimental hands-on creative journey to expand the common understandings of an object, and to search for the essence in its tradition.

​

Yani wants to keep questioning every convenient core in the design process to obtain an opened mind. Therefore she focuses more on the conceptual nature of a design first, yet in further process this transforms to a generally understandable and market ready design in the hope to make objects that have a strong reason of being.  This results in an interesting combination between circular and social design.
