Also known as the founder of Destroyers/Builders, Linde Freya Tangelder explores architectural forms in small- scale furniture and objects.
Her practice emphasizes material tactility, echoing the balance of restraint and play in Korean soban and metalware. She situates craft within a minimalist, contemporary frame.
Both low and high end materials get revalued, reconsidered and transformed. The interventions and finishes by hand, give these architectural objects a tactile aspect. The contrast in materials, the touchability, and the human traces that are still visible in the object, explain the method of Destroyers/Builders.
Destroyers/Builders takes on projects that range from commissions to self-initiated projects, and extends across the realms of both architectural furniture and interior
projects. The practice is founded in 2014 and Antwerp & Brussels based.
