Last day in paradise. Today is the final day to visit us in our home. Not an exhibition, but a place we have inhabited together. A space shaped by many hands, where objects carry presence and each room holds its own rhythm. For nine days, Villa Empain has been lived in. Not displayed, not staged, but activated. Materials, gestures, and stories brought into dialogue, forming something temporary and real. What exists here today will not exist again in the same way. If you have not yet come, this is your moment. We close tonight. @fondationboghossian

OPEN CALL 💡 TRY AGAIN? x MATHILDE WITTOCK We’re inviting applicants to design a reproducible object or a small-series capsule furniture collection that clearly showcases reused components. Your proposal should strike a balance between desirability, feasibility, sustainability, and production potential. To align with the programme, projects should: - Put the recovered glass syringe at the center - Use reversible assembly only (no permanent gluing/fusion) - Include max. 3 additional materials (preferably upcycled) - Be designed for small-series production or a capsule collection - Show clear industrial feasibility (fabrication, assembly, scaling) Three shortlisted finalists will receive €500 (excl. VAT). The winning designer will receive an extra €4,000 (excl. VAT) and development support. Ready to turn constraints into opportunities? Apply before 3 May 2026 by submitting: • a 1-page portfolio or moodboard • a short concept description (max. 500 characters) (link in bio). 🖤

A bench that carries its own life story. Bounce blends a bent aluminium structure with a cushioning made from reclaimed tennis balls, letting a hard, recycled skin meet a soft, springy surface. Over 70 percent of the metal comes from recycled sources, and every element is designed to come apart again, so the piece can be repaired, renewed, and returned to the stream of materials. It reads as both industrial clarity and considerate craft, a seat that is robust in use and light in its environmental conscience. ♻️ 📐 @mwo_design in collab with @geste.04 and @atelier_blam 📸 @bruit.nunerique #furnituredesign #sustainabledesign #circulardesign #recycledaluminium #upcycledmaterials

Giving discarded tennis balls a new life 🎾♻️ Belgian designer Mathilde Wittock turned a problem into a solution: She developed and patented a method to transform used tennis balls into colorful furniture and wall art that absorb sound. Proof that waste can become something beautiful and functional ✨ 📹 Mathilde Wittock / @mwo_design . . . #WIPO #IntellectualProperty #CircularDesign #Sustainability #CreativeProcess

Meet Mathilde Wittock (@mwo_design), a Brussels-based artist and biodesigner, discovered through our friends at @mad.brussels. Working at the intersection of science, art and sensory design, Mathilde explores how materials can be reimagined through circular and regenerative processes. She creates unique objects made from local, renewable or waste-based resources, turning overlooked materials into tactile and functional design pieces. In our Jourdan meeting room, her Bounce pieces give a second life to nearly 2,700 tennis balls, transformed into acoustic panels and furniture that together helped remove around 90 kg of CO₂ from the atmosphere. Sustainability meets art, turning experimentation into a tangible part of the space. See it all for yourself. Book the Jourdan room in bio. #respace #brussels

Proud to now be part of @objectswithnarratives - starting with a special project: @zaventemateliers inhabits Villa Empain for ten days. 10–19 March 11 AM – 6 PM The house returns to its original function as a home. Living rooms, bedrooms, and shared spaces are used as intended, forming a lived environment shaped by contemporary collectible design and art. Thirty-one designers and artists live and work inside the villa. Objects are not displayed but activated through daily use. Visitors enter a continuously inhabited house where design unfolds through time, proximity, and everyday life.

"Anthropocene Adhocism" Lionel Jadot (@atelier_lioneljadot) Curated by Brussels‑based designer and @zaventemateliers founder Lionel Jadot, Anthropocene Adhocism stages a critique‑turned‑invitation as a visionary hospitality suite. It invites visitors to pass through a cavern woven from electrical cables and e‑waste into an ecology where salt crystallizes into terrains, seaweed breathes, and felt, wax, roots, mycelium, and organic entrails entwine with aluminium and industrial fragments. Through Jadot’s retro‑futurist world‑building, which spans interiors, objects, and film, the space is charged with a palpable energy and a proposition for how we might dwell differently. Here, waste becomes resource and the inert grows animate — reframing welcome as an immersive sensory experience where the recycled and the natural cohabit. #interieurshk2025 #maisonetobjet
