Sebastien Wierinck is a Belgian designer born in 1975 in Kortrijk.
A graduate in interior and furniture design from the St-Lukas Hogeschool in Brussels, he now lives and works in Marseille, France.
Since 2006, he has been working independently as an artist and designer, exploring public furniture and temporary installations.
His approach integrates digital design and fabrication tools, aligning with the principles of digital craftsmanship.
His most notable works include a series of sculptural seating created in 2012 for Spuiplein square in The Hague, Netherlands, and a large-scale immersive installation at the J1 terminal in Marseille in 2013, as part of Marseille-Provence European Capital of Culture. Designed for a vast industrial space, the project blurred the lines between furniture, sculpture, and architecture, transforming the site into a dynamic and sensory landscape.
Sebastien has collaborated with numerous cultural institutions, such as Stroom Den Haag, TodaysArt, Club Transmediale Berlin, the Strelka Institute in Moscow, and the Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen.
He is co-founder of Substance Marseille, and runs the Sebastien Wierinck Workshop (SWWS), a design and production space located in Marseille.
