The Story

Two men are sitting in a living room. The man in the foreground is reading a book and has one leg resting on his other knee. The man in the background is lying on a couch, sipping from a cup. There is a shopping bag on the floor between them and a small table with a cup on top.
Two people walking on a city sidewalk, one with a shoulder bag and the other carrying a box, both wearing dark clothing.

Studio Sterck represents a partnership between Joe Sterck and Mattiece Vantyghem. Under his own name Joe Sterck creates experimental one-off designs on the intersection between art and furniture, for a select audience. Studio Sterck represents a challenge in restraint for Joe, opening the door to his own generation by creating design that is relatable and affordable.

Two men standing in an elevator doorway with natural light behind them, one wearing a jacket and the other in a dress shirt, with a shopping bag on the floor in front of them.
