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]

We look forward to seeing you there!

Soho Home has just opened its very first Studio in Europe and they chose Amsterdam to do it. Located on the ground floor of Soho House Amsterdam, in the space you might remember as The Allis, the new Studio invites both members and non-members to step inside the world of Soho Home.

Soho Home began with a simple question asked by guests staying at the Houses: ‘Can I buy this?’ The velvet armchair in the lounge, the crystal glassware at the bar, the Rosaline dining table, Odell and Vivienne sofas, ... People wanted to bring the cozy look and feel of the creative community club into their own homes. That question sparked a brand. It started with a few signature pieces and has grown into a full interiors collection, including furniture, lighting, textiles, tableware and even an in-house design service.

At the Amsterdam Studio, you can now explore that collection in person. Walk through fully styled living and dining spaces, browse fabrics and finishes and book a one-on-one consultation with the design team. Amsterdam makes a fitting first stop for Soho Home in Europe, joining the existing studios in London, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin and Nashville.

Yesterday, Belgian artist created live and outdoors a 7-metre-long painting in a single day for Michelin-starred restaurant .nebo .

The monumental canvas was painted on-site at Panamarenko Square in Antwerp, right in front of the restaurant. Throughout the day, Verkaeren worked in changing weather conditions: bursts of sun, heavy rain, gusts of wind. The painting evolved with the elements: atmospheric, layered and entirely shaped by the sky above.⁠ One fallen leaf landed on the canvas and was deliberately kept in the composition. ‘Clear blue skies? That would’ve been boring’, the artist says. ‘This was perfect.’

At sunset, the finished work was ceremoniously brought inside and now hangs in NEBO*’s private dining room, where it functions as a permanent window to the outside world, a tribute to the restaurant’s name (‘Nebo’ means ‘sky’), to the square and to the power of observation.⁠ Chef Dimitri de Koninck, who also celebrated his birthday on Monday, described the work as a perfect complement to the precise, layered character of his ten-course tasting menu.

On Tuesday, September 2, at TheMerode, Marina Abramović joined Kendell Geers for a intimate conversation on the transformative power of art.

Talking about pain, beauty, and what it means to be an artist in today’s insane world, Abramović reflected on art as a way of living where body, mind and soul become the canvas. Alongside Geers, she shared insights on their artistic bond, the political dimension of art, and the urgency of radical sincerity in today’s cultural landscape.

An inspiring evening where two visionary voices reminded us that art still has the power to transform, heal and provoke change.

During Amsterdam Fashion Week, and joined forces for a crossover between fashion and interiors. The result: a sculptural homeware four-piece series of shelves, bowls, bookstands and candle holders carved in natural stones like Hermee onyx and Starry Night granite.⁠ ‘The inspiration was simple: peanuts!’, laughs Elza Wandler, founder and Creative Director of Wandler.

IDEAT was present at the launch event and experienced firsthand how this immersive installation blurred the lines between fashion, design and art. Presented at , the setting was just as striking as the pieces themselves: glowing onyx walls, monumental stone pillars and a sculptural interplay between Wandler’s iconic bags and the new homeware series.

‘For me, designing bags has always been about sculpture. With SolidNature, that language now extends into interiors - one of my personal passions - and in collaboration with a partner who shares the same devotion to shape, colour, and imagination’, says Elza Wandler. David Mahyari, CEO of SolidNature, echoes that sentiment: ‘This is a collaboration I’ve been wanting to explore for a while, as I am in constant research of projects that create synergy between fashion and design. By combining Wandler’s bold, modern aesthetic with our craftsmanship in natural stone, we have created objects that feel at once timeless and completely of the moment.’

The collection is on view throughout September at PAUW Curated Space, Van Baerlestraat 70, Amsterdam. Visitors can pre-order the homeware collection until the end of September. Launching early 2026 via selected partners, solidnature.com and wandler.com. Prices range from €250 to €2.250 depending on the material.

Brussels Art Week by (September 4–7) launches its first edition, celebrating the full diversity of Brussels’ artistic scene. Over three days, a curated itinerary invites visitors to discover galleries, institutions, artist-run spaces, and studios across the city:

Downtown (City Centre & Molenbeek) on September 5
Midtown (Sablon, Saint-Gilles & Forest) on September 6
Uptown (Ixelles) on September 7

At the heart of this edition is the Salon de RendezVous (Rue de la Régence 67), an immersive installation-bar by British artist Zoë Williams. Drawing from Belgian bar culture, she blends installation, performance and objects into a playful, sensuous environment where desire, excess and rituals of consumption take center stage. The bar becomes a living artwork hosting artist-designed cocktails, panel talks, performances and DJ sets. 🪩

With this new event, Brussels reasserts itself as an international hub for contemporary creation, where major institutions and grassroots initiatives coexist and enter into dialogue.

We love design in all its shapes, so when a pop-up in Knokke puts a cult car back in the spotlight, we had to see it for ourselves.
At MAISON4 on Kustlaan, the Renault 4L gets a new chapter: the Renault 4 E-Tech Electric. Same unmistakable silhouette, but with an electric core, a clean grille that lights up, capsule headlights, and a palette of colors that feel more design than automotive.
Inside the 85m² space you’ll discover the world around the car. Limited accessories, boards, apparel and small design objects echo the spirit of the 4L and make the experience more concept store than showroom.
Knokke has its share of summer pop-ups, but this one hits differently.

MAISON4 - Kustlaan, Knokke - until 30 September 2025

In a forgotten Haussmann apartment in Paris, three Belgian galleries joined forces.
The group exhibition CURIO, a collaboration between , .space and , brought together collectible design in an intimate domestic setting, a former clothing workshop reimagined as a bedroom, salon and study.

The show coincided with SS2026 Fashion Week, but its focus was timeless: a tactile, atmospheric antidote to the white cube, and a tribute to curiosity in all its forms. The works, by Alexander Kirkeby, Elias Van Orshaegen, Lukas Gschwandtner, Charlotte Bombel, Richard Venlet, Grace Prince, Richard Artschwager and others were developed specifically for the space. Bombel even adjusted the tones of her lighting to reflect the exact colours of the room.

‘We’re all residential galleries’, COUR explains. ‘So it was important to show the works in a layered, intimate setting. Something that resonates with how people actually live.’ CURIO explored themes of oddity, rarity and beauty, drawing inspiration from historical Wunderkammern and offering a slower, more deliberate way of seeing and collecting.

Next stop for COUR & UPPERCUT: Collectible New York this September.
