Corinne van Havre


Belgian designer Corinne van Havre brings a jeweler’s eye to the scale of the interior. Her sculptural mobiles, mirrors and decorative objects reveal an enduring interest in how individual elements come together: the spacing of metal discs, the fall of a chain, the relationship between a glass sphere and its supporting structure. These are compositions conceived for a room, yet they retain the intimacy of something made to be worn.

Van Havre’s path into design began among the antiques that surrounded her childhood in Antwerp. Bronze objects and aged wooden boxes offered an early education in surfaces, construction and the character materials acquire over time. She went on to study interior design at the College of Advertising & Design in Brussels, followed by further studies in art history in London. Work at Sotheby’s in Brussels preceded the launch of her jewelry line in 2003, bringing experience of the art world into a practice grounded in making.

In 2013, she expanded into objects for interiors with LaLouL. This change of scale connected her training in space and proportion with her experience designing jewelry. Working with European artisans, she developed pieces in which the methods of assembly contribute as much to the design as the materials themselves. In Blown Glass Bubbles, individually mouth-blown globes from Biot in southern France are gathered on brass chain. The Celeste Mobile extends her exploration of suspended forms through arrangements of metal discs, tubes and chains.

Kinetic sculpture and minimalism inform van Havre’s approach, giving movement and the space around an object an active role in its composition. Metal remains central to her work, valued for its capacity to appear delicate and convey warmth. Across her practice, the attention once directed toward an ornament worn against the body now extends outward—to the way an object catches light, occupies space and becomes familiar through daily life.

DSHOP is an authorized dealer of Corinne van Havre’s mobiles, mirrors, and sculptural objects.
