His work has been presented in various thematic exhibitions at VIA in Paris, at Mudac in Lausanne, at Grand Hornu in Belgium and at Museum of Art in Seoul.
Fastrez won several prizes: with his projects “Variations upon an electric kettle” and “Tomahawks hair dryer”, he won the 2011 Grand Prix du Jury of Design Parade 6 in Villa Noailles (Hyères, France) under the leadership of Stephan Diez. In 2015, he also won the Wallpaper Design Award for his vase «Scarabée».
His works are part of the permanent collections of the Center Pompidou and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, the Villa Noailles in Hyères as well as of the collection of the CNAP (Comité National des Arts Plastiques).
Since 2012 Galerie kreo has been producing several of Fastrez’s works in limited editions: the « Mask » mirror collection, the « Etna » coffee tables and the « Egypt » vase collection.
« Vivarium » marks Fastrez’s first solo exhibition at Galerie kreo. The exhibition presents a new body of work, comprising furniture and objects, delicately inspired by wild animals inhabiting the gallery as a vivarium.

kreo in motion

‘kreo in motion’ is a series of short films re-imagining pieces of the gallery through the eye of talented motion designers and animators! Every month a series of 3 animations will be posted at regular intervals. Each series will be dedicated to the creative practice of a different motion designer - blank canvas to …

Stargate Swing by Nicole Peterson

In this animation Nicole Peterson animates Jean-Baptiste Fastrez's magical Stargate Swing. Fragmented pieces of the glossy swing structure fit together as we see it during the day and at night.

Snake Mirror by Acil & Pierre

Through the duo's imaginative lens, Jean-Baptiste Fastrez’s ’Snake Mirror' comes to life as the eponymous reptile — writhing with alternating colours. The undulating shape of the mirror paired with the animation of the image highlights the sinuous curves of the snake — which themselves are beautified by the small tiles of colour representing Fastrez’s use of mosaic.

Jellyfish by Jean-Baptiste Fastrez

Up and down go the blue tentacles of Jean-Baptiste Fastrez’s ‘Jellyfish’ chandelier in Kirill’s last animation. Fastrez’s ‘Jellyfish’ light, composed of a white polycarbonate lampshade and blue anodised aluminium pendants, suggests the shape of the eponymous water creature, whose umbrella-shaped bell here has swapped its natural luminescence for an electric light, running down the sides of geometric metallic tentacles. With a dreamy sound to accompany the motions of the marine animal, Kirill proposes a wondrous last animation to close his participation to the kreo in motion series.
