这是一个不同的观点,尤其是在家具展览会上。但在比利时Kortrijk XPO展厅外,第24届双年展室内家具交易会正在举行-一个巨大的广告牌宣布:“家不存在”。

今年前比利时设计师的一个集体展览也是一个亮点,其中每一个展示了新产品:Jean-FrançoisD”or、AlainGilles、NathatheDewez、BramBoo、AlainBerg、SylviWillenz、NeddaEl-Asmar和StefanSchöning。

Barrisol, manufacturer of stretched ceilings, has collaborated with Ross Lovegrove on a series of volumetric lighting pieces. 'Manta', 'Infinite Loop', 'Beta' and 'Sigma' were presented in a space with an aesthetic 'that lies between the deep ocean and deep space'
The new lights by Lovegrove provide layered acoustic dampening and uniform lighting making it a good solution for large architectural spaces such as airports, atriums and factories
The shiny exterior of Ross Lovegrove’s installation for Barrisol was reminiscent of a copper hall of mirrors
