Join us for a talk with Rudy in conversation with Evelien Reich, Editor-in-Chief of MANERA Benelux, where they explore beauty over trends, narrative in design and why poetry belongs in every project.

STUDIO NIGHTFLIGHT

With a background in mathematics and hospitality, Rudy didn't take a straightforward path to design. After co-founding the restaurant group PNY (15 restaurants across France), he worked with architects before starting to design his own spaces. His bold restaurant interiors for PNY caught attention worldwide. Three years ago, he launched his independent design practice, Studio Nightflight, bringing a unique perspective shaped by poetry, philosophy and storytelling. Last year, he was included in the AD100 2025 list.

Sometimes the indirect route leads exactly where you need to be, proving that creative practice can emerge from unexpected places. Expect a conversation about the importance of beauty over trends, the power of narrative in design, and why poetry belongs in every project.
