The Belgian design brand Atelier Collón combines robust elegance with minimalist aesthetics and the natural beauty of solid wood. Each interior object is handcrafted, resulting in unique and sustainable artworks. Under the leadership of designer and founder Sophie Hellebaut, Atelier Collón creates interior pieces that make subtle yet powerful statements in any space.
New Collection: Timeless Elegance
The new collection from Atelier Collón, including the PILAR vase and UMI lamp, symbolizes timeless elegance and sophistication. Inspired by the cylindrical shapes of trees, these objects are designed with organic lines that seamlessly blend functionality and design. Each interior piece is crafted from solid French oak, a wood species known for its durability and distinctive character. Every item is available in various wood tones such as ebony, charred black, chestnut, marron, and natural.
Sustainability and Local Production
Atelier Collón strives for sustainability in every aspect of the production process. Founder Sophie Hellebaut exclusively works with solid wood from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, the entire production is carried out locally, with handmade cushions by a craftsman from Damme and fabrics exclusively developed by an authentic East Flemish weaving mill. This dedication to craftsmanship and local production highlights the sustainable nature of the brand.
Belgian Craftsmanship at Its Best
Atelier Collón’s designs are not only aesthetically refined but also entirely handmade in Belgium. Every item, from bowls and vases to lamps and furniture, is meticulously crafted in collaboration with local woodworkers and furniture makers who share Sophie Hellebaut’s passion. “Every small detail is of utmost importance to me,” says Hellebaut. By working closely with artisans near her workshop in Sint-Martens-Latem, she can ensure the desired quality and finish of each object.
From Architecture to Woodworking
After training as an architect, Sophie Hellebaut built a successful career in real estate, but her creative passion for design lingered in the background. Inspired by wood sculptures, she studied with one of Belgium’s most talented wood turners, leading to the founding of Atelier Collón, where she now transforms her love for refinement and detail into tangible interior objects.
Functionality with an Aesthetic Twist
With objects like the PILAR bench, PILAR vase, and UMI lamps, Atelier Collón creates functional designs that also serve as eye-catching pieces in any interior. The robust simplicity of the objects, combined with their refined aesthetics, makes them perfect for those looking to add a unique, handmade statement to their home.
