* What's your favourite piece of furniture in your house?

That would be my chairs. I really like chairs in general, I could buy a chair every day! I like combining different designs. My all-time favourites are my black chairs by Arne Jacobsen. They are original pieces dating from the early 60's and they look a lot better crafted than the reproductions. They were a gift from my grandfather when he moved to a new place.

* Is it hard to keep your work and living space separate?

I don't really keep them separate. I just got rid of my entire living room, so that I could have more space to work. I also live in this space. Working, reading or eating all take place in the same area, so I don't really have a clear delineation of these areas.

* How and where do you see yourself living 10 years from now?

If I could dream, I would love to have bought a place within the next 10 years. Like an old mansion or a deserted factory. An old office would also be nice. Just a place with a lot of space so that I can make a screen printing workshop in my house. It will probably be in Antwerp, although Amsterdam is also an option.
