Undum - Coffee Table - Green

HADGE is the studio of Dieter Vlieghe, a Belgian architect who founded the practice in Ghent in 2020. He trained at KULeuven St. Lucas, Ghent, graduating with a Master of Architecture in 2015, and spent several years collaborating with Studio Prototype in Amsterdam and Glenn Sestig Architects in Belgium before establishing HADGE.

The practice spans architectural commissions and object design, treating the two as continuous rather than separate disciplines. Vlieghe works primarily with steel, wood, and stone: materials valued for their tactile presence and their capacity to develop character over time. Each piece accumulates its own patina, registering the environment and the maker's hand. The process moves from drawing to form through sustained iteration, with the material's structural qualities setting the terms.

HADGE's design language occupies the ground between timeless minimalism and brutalism. Objects are restrained in form and warm in presence. That serenity comes from raw surfaces and precise proportions, not decorative intent. The Bevel Collection and the Undum Collection are the clearest articulations of this vocabulary: geometric structures in raw materials, finished by artisans for whom craft is the final design decision.

The studio has exhibited at Maison & Objet 2024 alongside When Objects Work, at Collectible Brussels, Collectible New York, and Paris Design Week 2023. Press coverage has appeared in Milk Decoration, RUM, Sabato, and Knack Black.

HADGE objects are available on Monde Singulier within the platform's selection of Belgian collectible design.
