100th Territory
This place is your place. A hundred times.
It is redefined. Limited by walls, and edges.
Dispossessed.
Some even call it a non-territory of the multidisciplinary.

It is not ours. It is your place.
It used to be Belgium.
Now it travels.

Bar Rodin + Duvel
On the first day there was Duvel. A gift to Bar Rodin they wanted to make.
When HIER began to design the benches and the bars— the courtyard was without straight floor, and it was dark over the night— HIER said: Let there be also light.
On the first day there was Duvel. A gift to Bar Rodin they wanted to make.
When HIER began to design the benches and the bars— the courtyard was without straight floor, and it was dark over the night— HIER said: Let there be also light.
Let there be an aisle of benches leading to the two symmetrical bars on the two sides of the entrance hall.
Let the benches be made out of lines, forcing the perspective into the Holy middle. And let those lines rest on stone. Or concrete.
Let the D’s of DUVEL be symmetrical too. With one mirroring the other.
Let them be embossed in the concrete.
Let the concrete be flexible, be smart, and adapt to the levelled floor.
And on the last day, there came people. They celebrated. And stained.
A mark of use.

Brasserie de la Senne
Design a beer glass specifically for the brewery, one that is not picked from a catalogue
Design a beer glass specifically for the brewery, one that is not picked from a catalogue
A particular care should be given for the conservation of the foam
The straight sides of the glass (which is not common in beer glasses) is a “vitrine” for the beer
The converging neck tightens the aromas
The aim was to design a glass that is in between the calice of a special beer and the simple glass of the table beer, perfectly representing the philosophy of Brasserie de la senne, a beer for connoisseurs, without elitism.
Water Bank
A permanent fountain for the city of Brussels. Designed to stay. To resist. To promote Vivaqua tap water. As a drinking water.

The fountain is completely produced by the maintenance workshops of Vivaqua.
The design takes into consideration the maintenance, and all the parts are easily accessible and replaceable.

The water exit cannot be contaminated. The design provides surfaces for branding. And for tagging. And a step for children not be jumping.
