Nicolas Schuybroek was born in 1981 and raised in Brussels. Having been educated in English, French and Dutch-speaking schools, he is perfectly tri-lingual and is used to working in those three languages. His multicultural background and extensive travel nourish his work with a broad and international perspective.
In 2011, Nicolas Schuybroek started his practice based in Brussels, Belgium, with a well-defined purpose: create and produce architecture, interiors and objects characterized by an acute sense of detail, craftsmanship and intuition, while retaining warmth. The search for timeless minimalism and apparent simplicity are central in his work as the love of frank, tactile and raw materials. There’s no straining for effect in his work—just a muted elegance.
As his practice develops, his projects are as diverse in geography and type as in scale. They range from renovations, new-builts and interior design of residential projects, offices, hotels, and retail spaces to the design of objects. Examples of his projects include houses on the Cote d’Azur (France), Mexico City, the Robey hotel for Grupo Habita in Chicago (USA), Tribu’s office and showroom in Belgium and Aesop's flagship store in Lyon, France. They have demonstrated a considered approach to understanding each need, both in terms of exterior and interior architecture and design. In 2016, Nicolas Schuybroek developed the first series of objects for the Belgian brand when object work was presented at the Milan Furniture Fair. During Salone del Mobile 2022 in Milan, Nicolas Schuybroek showcased a new series of objects for when objects work and premiered a Signature Kitchen for Obumex.
Currently, Nicolas Schuybroek is working on large-scale new-built houses, and residential, commercial and art-related projects in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the UAE, the USA, Taiwan, the UK, South Korea and Indonesia.
