Their friendship — and their backgrounds in fashion, branding, and architecture — finally coalesced last year into VAUST, an experimental furniture and interiors studio whose first collection launched earlier this month at Der Berliner Salon.

Rotterdam is the Resin Capital of Design, and Laurids Gallée is Its Latest Star

Gallée, who left Vienna for the Netherlands at 23 to study at the Design Academy Eindhoven (“I changed my mind about art at around 17 or 18,” he says), is now thoroughly entrenched in the Rotterdam design community, both helping to produce work for other artists and nurturing a burgeoning practice of his own.
