Danny Venlet
Danny Venlet studied interior design at Sint-Lukas, the Institute for Architecture and Arts in Brussels. Back in Australia, Venlet came together with Marc Newson and Tina Engelen to form Daffodil Design. He then started to attract international attention with large-scale interior projects such as the Burdekin Hotel in Sydney and Q-bar, an Australian chain of nightclubs. Following his cooperation with Neil Burley (1988) and Marc Newson (1988-1990), he eventually opened his own studio, Venlet Interior Architecture, in 1991. His design projects range from private mansions, lofts, bars and restaurants all the way to showrooms and offices of large companies such as Timberland and Siemens. Danny Venlet’s objects are discreet, but for this reason, no less obvious. He now teaches interior design at Sint-Lukas in Brussels.
