More about the makers

‘M-us’ is a collective spin-off that brings sisters Mieke and Katrien Mestdagh together. Wood and glass, craftsmanship and design come together in a sustainable, circular, and educational project. Inspired by their surplus materials, they created a series of stylized Christmas trees that have been a success for three years running, adorning many homes.

Their range of design objects continues to grow, and both makers love demonstrating their craft and sharing the results of their creative collaboration.

Discover ‘M-us’ by Mieke and Katrien Mestdagh—a unique mix of wood, glass, and craftsmanship in sustainable, circular design objects. Come watch the demonstration!
