About

My name is Hugo Peels, a designer and researcher who graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2022

I am fascinated by the hidden stories, unique qualities and underlying forces that shape the materials around us. By zooming in to their smallest components or tracing them back to their origins, I explore the natural and chemical processes that define them. Through form-follows-material objects, I seek to reveal these often-overlooked qualities and invite people to look more closely at the materials around them, discovering a sense of wonder in the seemingly ordinary.
