ABOUT JEAN-PAUL LESPAGNARD /
Jean-Paul Lespagnard is a multidisciplinary designer, artistic director, and entrepreneur, crossing frontiers between fashion, object design, live performance, and interiors.
“My design speaks a universal language that transcends stereotypes and connects cultures.“
Though Belgian by birth and artistic education, it would be reductive to confine him to one single nation. His work spans continents. Local cultures and craftsmanship constantly expand his creative vocabulary, shaped by deep immersion in vibrant neighborhood markets and hidden workshops. This ongoing process of discovery forms the foundation of his visual universe, with designs emerging from cultural exchange, material experimentation, practices, and the fusion of mediums.
Over the years, Jean-Paul has embraced a more nomadic approach to creation, moving beyond his Brussels creative studio to work fluidly across projects and disciplines. Splitting his time between Latin America, various parts of Asia, and Europe, he draws inspiration from diverse cultural landscapes. With no predefined boundaries, his approach to design thrives on collaborations that challenge conventions and expand creative possibilities.

FASHION DESIGN /
INTERIOR DESIGN /
Jean-Paul has always been keen to create an immersive universe. interior design happened organically and became part of his quiver. Reflective of social dynamics, his concepts are multi-sensory. as Jean-Paul likes to say, “I would think even up to the smell of the washroom soap”. He designed his Extra-Ordinaire boutique, which won him the Design September Commerce Design Award. Jean-Paul recently inaugurated his largest interior design project to date, a 5,000 m² co-working space opposite Calatrava’s train station in Liège, designed for Befimmo.
OBJECT DESIGN /
A multi-disciplinary, prolific mind, Jean-Paul Lespagnard sees object design as the connection line between his creative dots. His textile knowledge and mastery in international Savoir-Faire allow Jean-Paul to bridge gaps between fashion accessory and furniture, or between more exclusive crafted art pieces and decorative good productions.
COSTUME DESIGN /
Jean-paul has worked with performance venues like Volksbhune Berlin, Palacio de Bellas Artes Mexico and GöteborgsOperan Gothenburg, and also for festival openings like Zurich Theaterspektakel. Very much involved in the development process, Jean-Paul spends a lot of time in rehearsal rooms with his collaborators, in order to create scenes where costumes and movements elevate a mood into a fullfledged entity.
ESCALE /
Travelling the globe through his different projects, Jean-Paul naturally thought of a container to collect the essence of his creations. In this concept, he travels with extra luggages that contains his inspirations and the result of his previous experiences. Through the physicality of a trunk, Jean-Paul shares his creative life via social medias, based on the life of different creations filling the box and a nomadic shop that can set up anywhere and sell its goods. The shop exists to revitalise content for the container and the series. This space allows him to meet his public and creates communication and interactions, both physical and online. The project is to go where fans, friends and chosen family are : meeting them face-to-face or via screens.
COLLABS
Jean-Paul interacts regularly with other established brands and Institutions. He adores cross-pollination to invigorate and spice up cult objects: From high-luxury cars to local food brands, you name it, he might have done something with it.
