BRUT Unveils a Permanent Gallery in Antwerp and 3rd Edition of Works Dubbed City Remnants.

Emerging Belgian designers’ collective BRUT presents its new steps that position the group more vitally as a shared design practice while generating promising opportunities for future, client-oriented collaborations.

The collective is excited to unveil BRUT Depot – a permanent exhibition and meeting space situated within the Haptic House in Antwerp. The space will offer continuous access and display of BRUT creations.

The first chapter housed within BRUT Depot opened this autumn (or spring, depending which side of the globe you live on). Dubbed City Remnants, this is the group’s third shared production, undertaken in close collaboration with Antoine Architectural Finishes.

With ‘contemporary city’ as its muse, the installation becomes an ode to its archetypal forms and functions, but equally an investigation into the relationships between the public and the domestic, between the collective and the individual.

BRUT Collective was founded in 2018 by emerging Belgian designers with a shared vision and ideas around design practice, including Charlotte Jonckheer, Linde Freya Tangelder (Destroyers Builders), Nel Verbeke, Ben Storms and Bram Vanderbeke. The group exemplifies a young generation of creators who value the significance of collaboration and collective involvement within the contemporary and international design landscape.
