Entre nous

Led by Aurélia Lanson and Séverine van Wersch, Fateditions previews a new collection of furniture designed by Rodrigo Almeida. Famous for its aesthetic interpretation of the cultural influences of his country, the Brazilian designer worked with Maison Christian Lacroix for the implementation of three key pieces. In tandem with Sacha Walckhoff, artistic director of the brand, he worked on precious fabrics and embroidery. It’s about how French culture was introduced, adapted and replayed in Brazilian culture.

Comme un ananas

Carte blanche to Philippe Katherine. Cinema, music, literature, visual arts ... The protean artist offers a first exhibition on the theme of personal and collective introspection, inspired by the lyrics of a song by Julien Baer: “As a pineapple I spent my life half sliced, half full.” Staged in a series of diptychs, celebrities - including Katherine, appear and disappear over the tables. This set of seven errors revisited questions of appearances, the value of absence, and the dictatorship of public figures. Until June 2

Dirk Wynants. Design works

A leader in Belgian design. His humanistic approach comes from an obsession: allow people to take the time to be together. Not furniture but “Tools for Togetherness”. From his youth in the creation to the pioneer “Extremis”, questions have always animated his work, and the trajectory of this visionary is dissected here. An emblematic incarnation of his philosophy: the classic Gargantua, a round table with built-in benches built and adjustable heights. Until June 3
