Arno Declercq born in 1994, Belgian designer and art dealer raised in a family where beauty, aesthetics, and hard work were part of daily life. His father studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and passed on his passion for tribal artifacts from West Africa, things that were never created as art, but as ritual tools, full of function, mystery, and meaning.

Arno’s mother owned a boutique where designers like Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, and Martin Margiela were the center of the collections she represented. That boutique was his introduction to atmosphere, silhouette, and texture. which he didn’t think of it as fashion at the time, but more as design.

What Arno makes today comes from that foundation: functional sculptures that are meant to live. Furniture that breathes with material. Forms that feel old and new at the same time.

In 2023, he opened his private showroom in Antwerp. A 500-square-meter space built for silence and attention. It’s not a gallery. It’s not a store. It’s an environment. A place to experience the collections the way they’re meant to be seen; raw, focused, atmospheric.
