Celebrating the 60 years of The Most Beautiful Czech Books award, Book Space turns outstanding Czech book design into a visually striking installation that connects interior design, book graphics and education, with a strong emphasis on inclusive design.

Step inside and explore a hand picked collection whose visual language needs no translation.

Comics, children’s picture books, cookbooks, sports titles, and more — each chosen for its power to speak through form, colour, and Czech book printing and binding craftmanship alone. The installation is staged on furniture created by Czech designers and producers Mikolášková & Drobná, Master & Master, Plastic Guys, Masopust, and Monotropa, underscoring the technical finesse and material innovation that distinguish Czech design.

By weaving literature, book graphic design, and furniture design into one inclusive environment, Book Space strengthens cultural ties between Czechia and Belgium and invites every visitor to slow down and let the books speak for themselves.

Curated by Nicole Brock. Graphically designed by Barbora Kramná. Organized by Czech Centre Brussels.

Design With Sense is structured as a cooperative company since 2022. Based in Brussels, they put humans and materials at the heart of their approach to interior design.

Reception desk, offices, kitchen, homes, commercial spaces: in an approach anchored in circular economy and co-design, the company designs new and stylish furniture from a majority of reuse materials and centered on the needs of the final users.

At Design With Sense, we work transversally and through an inverted design perspective. "We start from the material and very quickly integrate the future user to the reflection, in a design thinking approach that will bring out the real needs of the users. We have constant exchanges between the production workshop, the interior architects and the clients in order to challenge projects as much as possible and directly involve all stakeholders in decision-making."

Down the Rabbit Hole’ explores the entangled relationship between creativity and commodification within a landscape increasingly shaped by algorithmic culture, affective economies, and the allure of viral culture.

We ask where are we now in the friction and feedback loop between design and desire. The exhibition aims to bring together a range of objects and media by ten contemporary Belgian artists and designers whose work in part interrogates or subverts the relationship between design and desire, creativity and the systems of consumption that sustain and/or distort it.

The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the role of consumer and creative, as both passive and active participants in a world shaped by relentless cycles of want and production. Have we fallen down that rabbit hole, and what might it look like?

I am the woman behind GO.SEE.CREATE. Travel, especially to the far north, is my greatest source of inspiration.

Each piece of jewellery is an ode to nature, inspired by its power. It is made from materials shaped by the earth, the sea, the wind and time.

Each creation is unique, a transcription of my photographs through the search for the shades and colours that compose them, but also and above all through the desire to convey the emotion felt when faced with incredible landscapes. My bench, my compass...

They come to life in my workshop-boutique in Brussels, but the real alchemy happens when, back from my travels, sitting on my bench, my landmark, my compass, my gaze wanders towards the horizon.

The colours, images and feelings of distant lands come flooding back to me. I fly off again to distant latitudes. A piece of jewellery is being created. I am the woman on the bench, and I am taking you on a journey...

LE BEAU A UNE ADRESSE is an Art House, located in the heart of Brussels. Isabelle Leclercq, the founder, created this intimate and warm house to celebrate the BEAUTIFUL in art, design, literature and gastronomy.

At the heart of this exhibition, light is no longer just a functional tool—it becomes material, language, and experience.

Lightcore evokes this luminous core that shapes our perception, transforms spaces, and enters into dialogue with technology. Through design objects, digital installations, and immersive devices, the featured creators explore light in its most poetic as well as its most innovative forms.

They reveal its emotional power as much as its technological essence, playing with its glows, flows, and shadows. Lightcore is a journey to the very core of light, where design meets art and technology becomes emotion.

A sensory journey into raw material, from workshop to showcase.

To mark the reopening of the boutique during Design September, Material Reverie invites you to step into a living installation celebrating the creative process behind fine jewellery.

Part exhibition, part open studio, this project honours the intimate connection between material, gesture, and design. Discover the behind-the-scenes magic from sketch to wax, from casting to polishing, from stone to adornment.

The boutique transforms into a space of passage and dialogue, where artisanal savoir-faire meets contemporary design and quiet luxury.

Radical Landscapes marks Mario Trimarchi's first solo exhibition in Brussels. The Compasso d'Oro award-winning designer and architect presents a selection of his most recent work, including unique objects and drawings on paper. Trimarchi's research unfolds across delicate, poetic landscapes captured in his drawings, and continues into the creation of unexpected and sometimes precarious objects: sophisticated assemblages of raw materials such as glass, metal mesh, stone, brass with domestic and familiar forms. These fragile yet striking constructions talk to us about the unachievable equilibrium of life, about warmth and coldness, instability and solidity, lightness and weight, transparency and opacity. In Radical Landscapes, Trimarchi invites us to explore the poetic friction between the natural and the designed — between what we know and what we are still learning to see.
Monika Unger — Exhibition concept and production

The exhibition presents objects and drawings from six different collections:
BARRICADES, fragile architectures made of structural fragments, assembled in uncertain balance.
CLOSE TO THE EDGE, rock and glass — weight and transparency — held in precarious equilibrium, overlooking the abyss.
THE WALL, woven metal objects — vessels in growth — stretching upward toward the sky.
FOREVER, MAYBE, a collection of rings that might last forever — or fade like sea stones shaped by wind and water.
STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER, miniature rural landscapes that bring the countryside into our domestic spaces.
STILL LIFE, glass branches intertwine and rise to collect and distribute rainwater in a perpetual, delicate movement.

A selection of design objects, currently in production by Alessi, Caimi and Ichendorf is presented on the lower floor.

Mario Trimarchi is a designer and architect who sees design as a means to bring poetry into the world of everyday objects. Formerly director of Design Master's course at Domus Academy, he was part of the Olivetti Design Studio before founding the brand consultancy Fragile. Today, through his own practice, Mario Trimarchi Design, he creates objects and furniture for leading international companies.
In 2016, he was awarded the Compasso d'Oro for the Ossidiana coffee maker designed for Alessi. His work often explores the boundaries between drawing and design: in 2019, he held solo exhibitions of his drawings at the Italian Cultural Institute in Paris and at the Design Hub in Barcelona. In 2020, two pieces from Botanica — a collection of sound-absorbing panels for Caimi — were acquired by the Quirinale Contemporaneo Collection.
In 2022, he was invited by the Korea Craft and Design Foundation to design five small Yugi brass altars, and received the Targa d'Oro from the Unione Italiana Disegno (UID) for his contribution to drawing culture.
In 2024, the film Ten Types of Black, directed by Emilio Neri Tremolada, was released, offering a poetic reflection on Trimarchi's black-and-white drawings, which he describes as a way to "forever fix the presence of things and ensure their peaceful survival."
Since 2024, his research at the intersection of art and design broadens, leading to a series of solo exhibitions in Milan (Galleria Jannone and Paula Seegy Gallery), Como (Galleria Diaz 14), and London (Mint Gallery). He draws day and night.

Random Distractions (: is an exhibition imagined by Lucas and Alice, respectfully designer and communicator. Sharing a common passion for committed, accessible, and meaningful design, this exhibition reflects our desire to collaborate on a project that embodies our shared aspirations: to imagine, create, and above all, to convey a form of design that aligns with today’s global challenges. Through a selection of seven projects from Lucas’s experimentations, Random Distractions (: explores the tensions between critical thinking, creative process, and collective engagement. The objects and installations focus on themes such as circularity, material reuse, technology, and social or political dynamics, approached through a transdisciplinary and open-source lens. Rather than glorifying the final result, this exhibition aims to highlight the detours: the wobbly prototypes, the inspiring failures, the unfinished or revived ideas, and the unexpected exchanges between friends, artists, engineers, or curious minds. Random Distractions (: thus aims to be a living, interactive, and evolving space that invites visitors to understand the behind-the-scenes of contemporary design creation.

Exhibited projects:

CLEAR – Circular Electronics Upcycled - Transparent audio objects made from old electronic components, recovered, dismantled, and reassembled.
