Lionel Jadot is a Brussels based interior architect, designer, artist, and filmmaker whose practice spans architecture, collectible design, and sculpture. His work begins with materials, often reclaimed, forgotten, or industrial, and evolves through instinct, improvisation, and deep craft. Whether it is wood fused with metal or ancient objects meeting contemporary needs, his approach is always physical, layered, and alive.
He operates through two complementary structures. Atelier Lionel Jadot is his experimental workshop where sculptural and functional objects are created through reuse and radical craftsmanship. Studio Lionel Jadot is his architectural practice where interiors are shaped to feel lived and textured, translating the raw energy of the atelier into spatial environments.
In 2018, he founded Zaventem Ateliers, a 6000 square meter creative hub in a former paper factory near Brussels. This self sustaining ecosystem now hosts over 20 independent designers and artists. Jadot conceived it as more than a building, it is a living platform for material intelligence, collective momentum, and shared design values.
His aesthetic references span from retrofuturism and gothic comics to the visionary worlds of Moebius and Jodorowsky. Yet across disciplines and scales, his work stays grounded in one idea: design as a human process, slow, honest, and in constant evolution.
