Studio with a view
About
For more than fifteen years, Studio with a View has brought together designers, artists, textile makers and decorative painters in a shared studio environment. Since relocating from Molenbeek to Avenue Poincaré, the collective has continued to foster a dialogue between art, design and craftsmanship through a shared fascination with materials. For Brussels Design Week, the covered courtyard becomes an island-like setting for a collective exhibition featuring works, prototypes and material explorations by the studio's residents. While each practice retains its own distinct identity, together they reflect on making, process and materiality. The exhibition unfolds alongside the daily life of the studios, which remain open to visitors throughout the event.
The day begins at 11:00 with a shared brunch. The studios and exhibition remain open until 18:00.
FLORA HUBOT
Flora Hubot's practice explores the expressive potential of surfaces, combining artisanal techniques such as papermaking and decorative faux finishing. Rooted in close observation of contemporary society, her figurative approach gives rise to a distinctive visual language in which material and image engage in a continuous dialogue.
LAURE KASIERS
Textile designer and craftswoman Laure Kasiers designs and handcrafts unique rugs for floors and walls in her Brussels-based studio. Using a distinctive, unconventional technique, she creates organic forms and patterns that celebrate the tactile qualities of textile.
NEL VERBEKE
Nel Verbeke is a conceptual designer and artist whose work explores the emotional potential of design. Through extensive research, she creates objects and situations that challenge and reshape our relationship with ourselves and the world around us.
PIERRE-YVES MOREL
Pierre-Yves Morel is a decorative painter specialising in faux wood and faux marble finishes. Alongside commissions for private residences, he develops contemporary objects that reinterpret—and occasionally subvert—traditional decorative painting techniques.
TERRAIN VAGUE
Terrain Vague is the collaboration between designer Damien Gernay and ceramic artist Julie Istasse. Inspired by natural forms, textures and phenomena, they create ceramic objects that bring together traditional craftsmanship and emerging technologies. Each piece invites us to slow down, observe more closely and reconnect with nature.
