"THE POWER OF OBJECT(S) : DESIGN BESTSELLERS IN BELGIUM"

 

MAD Brussels and ING Belgium present ‘The Power of Object(s), Design Bestsellers in Belgium’.
This exhibition will show off the work of 25 great designers: displaying the object that is iconic for them, the one that is the most profitable from an economic point of view and the one that has been sold the most.

It will show the current state of Belgian contemporary design and will of course talk about objects but also about production and economic value.

‘The truth behind the pieces ­ an insight behind the scene. A true testimonial.’
