This weekend marks the official opening of the Doshi Retreat at the Vitra Campus. Did you know that Vitra is a Swiss design brand, but its world-famous campus lies just across the border in Germany? You can visit the site freely (no ticket needed) and explore this inspiring place for architecture and design.

And now, next to buildings by , , .ando and and more, a new chapter has opened: the Doshi Retreat. Designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Balkrishna Doshi together with Khushnu Panthaki Hoof and Sönke Hoof. Walk through the hidden corridors and end up in a space with a gong, dedicated to reflection, sound and stillness. It was for us a quiet counterpoint to the creative energy of the campus.

While you’re there, in Weil am Rein, also stop by the VitraHaus, browse the Design Museum, stroll through the gardens of or have lunch at Depot Deli. All on the same site.

Opening this Saturday: the Doshi Retreat at the Vitra Campus.
A serene new space on the campus by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Balkrishna Doshi, designed together with Khushnu Panthaki Hoof and Sönke Hoof, completed shortly after Doshi’s passing.

Conceived as a place of contemplation and sound, inspired by Indian spirituality, it invites visitors to slow down, listen and reconnect with silence. The structure unfolds as a winding path descending into the earth, guided by the soft resonance of gong and flute.

Built from low-carbon XCarb® steel and surrounded by nature, this is ‘ first project outside India, and the final expression of his life’s philosophy. A tribute to stillness, light and the timeless dialogue between architecture and the soul.

Today we got a first glimpse. The retreat officially opens on October 25th, and it’s freely accessible to all visitors on the in Weil am Rhein.

Just south of Brussels, in the quiet greenery of Linkebeek, architect Nelson Van Campenhout (co-founder of Giusto Van Campenhout with his Argentinian friend Santiago Giusto) has found a place that feels like a true refuge. The house, a 1970s modernist gem designed by Charles Van Bever, reflects the harmony between architecture and nature that Nelson holds dear.

He lives here together with his family. Days unfold barefoot, moving freely between the open living spaces and the garden, where light shifts gently throughout the day. Much like the architecture itself: concrete softened by sunlight, large windows framing greenery and a calm that feels almost meditative.

Known for directing several of Angèle’s music videos (La Loi de Murphy, Je Veux Tes Yeux, Balance ton quoi), artist and photographer Charlotte Abramow published in 2018 MAURICE, Tristesse et rigolade, a book dedicated to her father’s illness, released shortly after his passing.
Seven years later, she revisits the project as an immersive exhibition, rekindling the memory of a doctor, a teacher, and a child hidden during the war but above all, of a tender, spiritual, and whimsical father.


What would your dad whisper in your ear on the day of the opening? I think he’d say: “What a beautiful mess! I’m so moved and so proud.” It’s hard to say, because I had two versions of my dad. One I hadn’t seen since I was 17, the day he fell into a coma. The other, altered, so special, terribly endearing, shaped by his brain injury, who passed away when I was 24. I’m often at a loss for what he might have said. I think he would have been speechless, with his eyes full of tears.

The full interview is featured in the new issue of IDEAT, now available in stores.

At Hangar, 18 Place du Châtelain, 1050 Brussels
Until December 21.

In his monumental studio in Zaandam, just outside Amsterdam, Jasper Krabbé paints portraits that feel both layered and alive. Coming from one of the Netherlands’ most iconic artistic families, his own story began not in a studio but on the streets with graffiti and the pulse of the city.

Today, those worlds have fully merged. His portraits balance refinement with the untamed energy of his beginnings. He paints on materials that have a story: envelopes, book pages, drop cloths stitched together over time. ‘It gives space for imagination, he tells IDEAT.

For Krabbé, art is something to be shared, not possessed. That belief now takes form in CLOUDS, a book to be released next year, gathering years of drawings and ideas, offering a glimpse into his world and the stories behind the paint.

Design lovers, mark your calendars for September 25. Join us at Mayfair BXL in the heart of Brussels for an exclusive live conversation with British designer Tom Dixon, one of the most iconic voices in contemporary design, moderated by IDEAT.

began his career as a self-taught designer welding salvaged metal into furniture. An unconventional start that laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most recognisable design voices of our time. Today, his eponymous brand is known worldwide for its bold forms and innovative use of materials. Pieces like the sculptural Beat lights and the iconic S Chair are instantly recognisable and held in the permanent collections of MoMA in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

In this intimate talk, Tom will open up about his creative journey, his design philosophy, and his latest explorations into innovation, materiality and spatial thinking. Key themes that continue to define his work today. IDEAT will lead the conversation, offering a rare glimpse into the mind of a designer who has never stopped reinventing himself.

The evening takes place at .bxl , with the talk beginning at 7PM, followed by a cocktail and the opportunity to view some of Dixon’s pieces on display in the store’s curated décor space.

Architects, design professionals or simply passionate about interiors, this is a chance to meet Tom Dixon in person, ask questions, and get inspired. Attendance is free, but registration is required due to limited seating. To RSVP, please email: [email protected]
