Brussels Design September 2024

12/09/2024

Every year I look forward to Brussels Design September and in 2024 its start (12 September) pleased me with interesting, innovative, exciting projects, which I will be happy to talk about in my reports. The opening took place at the Dominican Hotel (once the Dominican Convent) in the heart of Brussels.

Today, festival number 18 has a female face, and a beautiful one at that – art director Elizabeth Djamdjiev (pictured left), a graduate of ‘La Cambre’, an interior designer and ceramic conservator, an experienced art manager.

The festival connects professional and amateur designers, workshops and local communities, collectors and visionaries. This year it emphasises the inextricable link between art and design, their interpenetration and intertwining. Over 100 design events – Urban design and Commerce design, the Design Awards competition. Design lectures and conferences will be held at Flagey. The traditional Design Market has been moved to 16-17 November. New brands, galleries, projects and, of course, established and successful names on the European and Belgian art and design scene await you.

Museum ‘Z33’ in Hasselt and it’s exhibitions

In the very Limburg town of Hasselt, there is a wonderful, well known Fashion Museum. Literally two streets away from it is another museum that deserves a spotlight. Especially since it underwent a total renovation in 2020, done with great taste. I sympathise with the...

Designer duo Daniel Dewar & Grégory Gicquel in the Museum “Z33” in Hasselt

‘The Wet Wing’ - when silk becomes a river There's something shimmering in the historic space of Vleugel 58. It's not just light playing on fabrics, nor is it a random glow on marble. It is silk turned into water, a river touched by the hands of Daniel Dewar and...
