Happy, happy to have been chosen by Sotheby’s & Mad Brussels to design a window display for Sotheby’s 50th anniversary in Belgium. And what a better way to celebrate than with a big, big, cake.
Where dogs and cats feel home. Our story with Canine started with a Bone, then another Bone facing it, to sign their cool presence in Saint-Gilles. The collaboration then expanded to cover the design of their new second store in Flagey.
Rayon belge is a family business that specializes in providing smart / elegant display solutions for shops, homes, work and cultural spaces.
For Maison de la Culture in Tournai we have collaborated, with Atelier Blink ( for we cherish collaborations).
They have designed, and we have developed, produced, and installed, signage.
It’s new, c’est Nouveau! Well, not all of it. Only the part we designed, the one that lies in the backstage: the kitchen and the workshop. The main piece of the project is a chandelier piece roaming over the main atelier space, watching over it, with flowers hanging upside down, also a source of light.
We have refreshed, revisited, updated and ugraded, the shop and info office scenography for Visit Brussels. We have added in place of an older system, a shelving design that is both colourful and playful, while being practical and functional.
One city. Two interventions. Three artists, and HIER, us.
Branding Tournai this time, branding both sides under a bridge, and one over another, both alongside the canal de l’Escault.
The collaboration HOULÉ x HIER is a research project, a work in progress and a story of process, of exchange, of adding and subtracting. A journey of words, drawings, textures, and samples.
From light to language to signage, we used boxes of light to indicate the way and the services throughout the halls of the Halles de Schaerbeek.
HIER was asked by MAD Brussels to design the common and public spaces of the new residents’ ateliers in Rue du Vautour, a space dear to HIER’ heart, as it was founded in that very space, in 2017, when we, Thea and Thomas were residents at MAD.
We were commissioned by Firmax to design, produce, and install, an acoustic wall, separating the office from the showroom space, and serving as a sample library.
An hourglass. An hour-tree. Sand running, leaving empty, the branches of that tree. Showing the time that has passed.
This is not a trophy. Not in a traditional sense anyway. It should not gather dust. It does not die on a shelve. It lives. It grows. It glows. Well no. It does not glow. But for sure evolves.
A modular system for a flexible shop.
A shelf. A pegboard. A hanger.
Assemble. Dismantle. Re-mantle.
Pink is for fabric. White is for metal. Wood are for surfaces. And green are the plants and pots.
For WHEEL OF CARE we rethought the physical branding of this fast bike.
While the main sign is composed of floating letters slightly offset from the facade surface, the secondary signage uses the same material, brass, as a sheet, more like three of them spreading along the grid of the elevation, caressing the entrance of the school.
A window of windows, of Inside Stories.
One of translation, transcription and essentially transmission.
This scenography, commissioned by MAD Home of Creators, is designed to host a series of fortunate events, from master classes to conferences and workshops.
While KOKOTTE is a food incubator, L’Auberge Espagnole is a retail incubator. Both are projects set by HUB Brussels to help businesses test their ideas before investing big. Both are constant spaces, with shops and restaurants varying throughout the year.
In conversation with IMAL's Fablab team and the architect’s plans for the new space, we designed the furniture for Fablab present. All furniture is thought of within a system of pieces that are: easily assembled, thus dismantled and repairable, efficiently reproduced for possible future expansion, and as reusable as possible.
We have put together a product in progress that is manufactured in Brussels.
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.
A simple, sample story.
The story of a genuine sample meeting an architect, hoping to be caressed, kept, and then maybe chosen.
MAD LAB, funded by the public sector, is an incubator for young designers in Brussels.
Now, MAD LAB and its residents occupy the 13th and last floor of the highest social housing tower in Rue Haute, Brussels, Belgium, Europe, Earth.
Need for a sign without plastic and entirely recyclable for the “zero waste” restaurant Le Local
1000 Lira w Lira we revisited the “1 Dollar Shop” concept and adapted it to the Lebanese Lira, an inflated currency that looses its value as we go, for value is a controversial topic.
Design a beer glass specifically for the brewery, one that is not picked from a catalogue
A permanent fountain for the city of Brussels. Designed to stay. To resist. To promote Vivaqua tap water. As a drinking water.
