Laurids’ current project aims to build architectural objects from simple transparent building blocks, highlighting the internal structures. The object’s transparencies play with light sources and cast sharp and soft patterned shadows into the room surrounding it. At the same time, the object has the power to blend into any surroundings and magnify the interior with colorful statement.

Laurids Gallée (B.1989) is an Austrian designer based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. From early childhood he was exposed to creative practices, and after briefly studying anthropology, he graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2015. 

After working for Chris Kabel, he spent the following year learning different manufacturing techniques, as a craftsman in art and design production. He worked for S.T.R.S., a company specialised in realising designers’ and artists’ projects that require highly technical solutions. 

In 2017 he started his own studio in Rotterdam; his work explores traditional and folkloric elements to enter modern materiality, while always considering today’s advanced manufacturing processes to create a contemporary fusion.
