For the past years, Frederik Deschuytter has combined running his own speculative design studio Fred Erik with freelance work for diverse clients. Although his personal work revolves around envisioning future living environments through research and speculation, his freelance work is more focussed on advanced material developments and writing for diverse clients.
Projects

Brussels, BelgiumFreelance
FRED ERIK - the pseudonym of Frederik Deschuytter - is a speculative design and research studio with a strong fascination for the endlessly evolving world he operates in.
Technological leaps wonder FRED ERIK about how his living environment could, and inevitably will, look like. As a designer he feels the urge to respond to these impulses, to speculate about what is still intangible. Ultimately, everything he does is connected by the same urge, a strong desire to move forward outside of the already existing, away from what is obvious and known.
As the founder of Fred Erik, Frederik has been involved in all the company's projects throughout all phases.
