Charlotte Jonckheer (°1988) is a Belgian designer and artist based in Antwerp.
Her practice comprises objects for the interior, design concepts, and material research, resulting in functional and autonomous work with a strong focus on materiality - particularly through the use of paper. By exploring paper’s lifecycle, she investigates its potential both as physical substance and metaphor. In 2018, she developed her own material - the ‘Chaud Paper Composite’- a combination of paper waste, sourced from a local printshop, and stone dust. This composite became the basis for a range of works created out of an intuitive and iterative research process. Through the reuse of her own material waste, her approach aligns with principles of circularity, underscoring paper’s dual role: as physical substance and indicator of time.
Charlotte’s pieces are made in small editions or as unique works, ranging from self-initiated objects to site-specific commissions. Rooted in a deep appreciation for materiality and craftsmanship, her projects, which bridge various disciplines, are realized in close collaboration with craftsmen, engineers, and manufacturers.

Her work has been exhibited at Palais des Beaux-Arts (Lille), Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), and Design Museum Gent, and featured at major design events. She was a finalist for Vitrine pour un designer (2016) and won a Wallpaper* Design Award in 2021. In 2022, she realized a textile and light installation for De Sibbe (an artwork commissioned by Atelier MA+P for Emmaüs).
In 2018, she co-founded BRUT, a collective of Belgian designers that won the Henry van de Velde Gold Award for Young Talent (2019). Together, they exhibited at Bozar Brussels, Kanal Centre Pompidou, Design Museum Gent, and Salone del Mobile.
