Living in Brussels

Engaging portraits of around 20 Brussels interiors and their inhabitants. The book offers an inside view of the merchant houses, apartments and lofts of various creative people from a fabric designer to a dealer in designer furniture, a theatre director, etc. The interiors often represent a mix of various styles from the antique to the contemporary: old-style elements from days gone-by such as wainscoting or ceiling cornices are retained but given more modern colours, often in combination with contemporary design. The featured interiors may not always be that chic, sleek or hypermodern in design but are oozing with personality and originality. Together they offer a very personal insight into the lives of today's creative Bruxellois. Alongside photographs of inspiring interiors, the inhabitants also reveal their favourite locations in Brussels. An originally designed book full of ambiance combining a photographic catalogue of each interior with atmospheric photos of their urban surrounds.
