ABOUT


Frederik Deschuytter is an Antwerp based speculative designer with a deep fascination for the endlessly evolving world around him. With a focus on technology and ecology, he explores what our future might look like, and how these projections recalibrate our view on the present. 

By analysing, dismantling, and reformulating topics of interest, Frederik's work aims to untangle their complexity and foster dialogue about both their long-term implications and short-term reflections.
