Sculptural Vases & Functional Art

About Isabelle Neyt

Isabelle Neyt is a Belgian designer known for her poetic exploration of form, material, and everyday beauty. Working across ceramics and textiles, her work bridges contemporary design and functional art, creating objects that feel both expressive and intimate. Each piece reflects a highly personal visual language shaped by sensitivity to texture, colour, and spatial composition.

Sculptural vases between art and design

Isabelle Neyt’s sculptural vases reinterpret familiar household objects as architectural elements within the interior. Rather than functioning purely as vessels, her designs are conceived as visual compositions - objects that can be placed on a surface or displayed on the wall, transforming how space is perceived.

These contemporary design vases move fluidly between decorative art and functional design, blurring the line between utility and sculpture. Their graphic silhouettes and tactile surfaces create rhythm, contrast, and a sense of movement within a room.

Graphic textiles & linen works

Isabelle Neyt’s practice is not confined to a single material. Her graphic linen pieces echo the sculptural language of her vases, translating architectural forms into textile. Intended for the table, yet equally compelling when framed, they continue her exploration of everyday objects as artistic compositions.

This fluid movement between aluminium, ceramics and linen reflects the multidimensional nature of her work, where function and art remain in constant dialogue.

Contemporary functional art for the interior

Designed to live in modern homes, Neyt’s vases bring a strong artistic presence without losing their functional purpose. Whether used to hold flowers, stand alone as sculptural forms, or form part of a curated wall composition, they become focal points that elevate everyday living spaces.

Each piece embodies RUIMTE’s philosophy of functional art - objects that serve a purpose while also expressing creativity, individuality, and material beauty.
