CHRISTIAN ANDRE, founded by Rutger Merckx. Based in Antwerp, Belgium, Merckx has spent his career driven by a profound passion for design, architecture, and the transformative power of light. With an extensive background in lighting design, Merckx is fascinated by how illumination can redefine a space and evoke a specific atmosphere.
This dedication led to the founding of Christian Andre—a brand named after Merckx’s own middle names. The label serves as a personal endeavor to create timeless objects through a meticulous, artisanal process.
Each piece within the collection is crafted with deep attention to detail, seamlessly blending traditional craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic. The goal is simple: to design lasting objects that bring both beauty and character to the contemporary interior.
