Objects of Fascination

In complete lockdown, everyone was stuck at home, chained to their tables, facing isolation, and eventually being inspired by the objects around them. This was seen as an opportunity to collaborate and share thoughts and fascinations around a common project, a collaborative furniture series called Objects of Fascination. National and international architects, artists and designers were asked to translate their personal fascination into the design for an aluminum table. The result is 44 coffee tables in erratic forms by, amongst others the Belgian architecture firm 51N4E, fala atelier from Portugal, l’AUC from Paris and Piovenefabi from Italy.

The 44 original tables will be presented at MAD Brussels From September 24 to November 14, 2021.

Resortecs x Studio WDN

Two years ago, the Brussels-based start-up Resortecs® settled as resident in the MAD Brussels Atelier. Resortecs® develops technologies for smart disassembly, sorting and recycling of textiles at industrial scale. Founded by Cédric Vanhoeck and Vanessa Counaert, the company wants to promote full circularity in the fashion industry without loss of quality.

The work and research of Resortecs® is displayed in a showcase project designed by Caroline Wolewinski and Sandro Della Noce of Studio WDN. The installation can be seen in the MAD showcase (entrance along the Papenvest) from the 24th of September until the 14th of November.
