MODERNITY Legendary architect and designer Arne Jacobsen is first and foremost the man who founded Scandinavian design as we know and admire it today. A man of genius and of his time, he left his mark on the history of applied arts by propelling it into a new era of modernity. He revolutionized the esthetics of daily life by taking commonplace objects and elevating them to iconic status. For 90 years, DELABIE has upheld the following commitment: to offer the greatest number of people the opportunity to experience beauty in public places. Sensitive to this new paradigm, which it considers a...

Reminiscent of the Bauhaus, minimalism reinvents itself over time. Objects are pared down until they comprise only their very essence. Nothing serves any purpose at all unless it is essential.

in Antwerp PORT HOUSE, ANTWERP (BELGIUM) ZAHA HADID FIGUREHEAD Zaha Hadid may have left us, but her incredible daring lives on in one of her last major works. The Port House in Antwerp weighs anchor and sails towards an insolent, innovative future. Culture shocks and architectural clashes in a marriage that defies reason but arouses passions. The High Priestess of Deconstructivism (in the vein of Jean Nouvel and Frank Gehry) dispatched her mastery to the four corners of the globe by leaving her visionary imprint on buildings as spectacular as the Guggenheim Museum in Vilnius and MAXXI in...

Designing frying pans, faucets, toilets… everything interests me! It was with an enlightened certitude that, as a young boy, he plotted a professional path for his passion through the vast playground of design. Tables, lamps, pots and pans, and even laboratory equipment, Guillaume Delvigne’s pencils give birth to beauty as he lets his imagination run free, from art galleries to retail. What is design to you these days? Guillaume Delvigne: It became a passion when I was 12, when I decided to be a designer and understood what the job entailed: “What I want to do is draw objects!”. And that’s...
