Graduated from the Saint-Luc Institute in Brussels (2011), Jade Vijt is an Interior Designer with a true passion for her work. The many projects that she has already completed in her young career, all rich in experience and diversity, are testament to that! She renovates, refurbishes and designs apartments, develops and materialises projects, creates set-ups for sales premises, designs furniture, stages ephemeral events, and produces scenic decorations for exhibitions, social evenings as well as for concerts.
It is alongside the internationally renowned Belgian architect Michel Penneman (Detrois) that she has gained her experience. For nearly four years, Jade contributed to the realisation of several exhilarating projects; the renovation of the Hotel Atlas, in the heart of the fashionable Dansaert district in Brussels, as well as the showroom of the brand Limited Edition in Rue de Namur, Brussels; the creation of Letiuz, a concept inspired by the “Salad Bars” of New York; the replanning of chocolatier Pierre Marcolini’s boutiques, as well as the colour scheme for the Hofstra University of New-York for Pantone.
Today, she continues to practice her passion, having set up her own architectural business. Mixing functionality and aesthetic is the recurrent leitmotif, which follows her throughout her different projects.
