Wait, it’s been a week already?!

Last Thursday, we opened the doors to the third edition of Design Nation Kortrijk. And apparently, you were just as keen to be there as we were.

Because guess what? We welcomed even more visitors than at our previous edition! ⚡

We’re still scrolling through the photos, reliving the moments and feeling véry pleased with how it all turned out.

So here’s another little throwback. Because we’re not quite done enjoying this one!

Well well well, Kortrijk. What an edition!

The stands looked fantastic, the Trend Stage had our full attention and the atmosphere? We wouldn’t have minded another day.

A huge thank you to our exhibitors for bringing their absolute best, our speakers for keeping us on our toes, our partners for making it all possible and, of course, every single visitor who joined us.

Now, before we get too sentimental, there’s just one more thing we’d like to say:
One Nation. And what a special one! ⚡

Something rather impressive is taking shape at Design Nation Kortrijk.

Meet ASCENDANT, an installation featuring six monumental textile flags by Lebanese designer and Kortrijk resident Charbel abou Zeidan.

Drawing on Flanders’ rich textile heritage, the installation brings together different techniques, textures and materials in six larger-than-life flags.

But there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Flags have always been symbols of identity, pride and power. ASCENDANT explores what happens when those symbols become fragile, fade or disappear. And what might emerge in their place.

⚡ Get a first look at ASCENDANT during Design Nation Kortrijk, 15 & 16 October.
⚡ Discover the full installation later this month at WONDER Creativity Festival

An initiative by Charbel Abou Zeidan, , , and yours truly.

With the collaboration of , , , , Sofa Cover, B&T Textilia and Aarova.

One for your must-see list. See you at Design Nation!

Who said lighting should play a supporting role?

Certainly not BOMMA.

With sculptural shapes, handcrafted crystal and a serious eye for detail, the Czech design brand knows how to give lighting a starring role.
