I can’t tell you anything about an architect or interior designer but damn, this shop: optician with all original #1960s interior. The magic is in the details, like the mirror built into the sliding doors of that beautiful cabinet

The way the light streamed in through those stained glass windows reflecting on the tiled blue floor, I would almost call it… religious 🤷🏼‍♀️ #1960s #lodeaerts #jozefdeconinck #belgianmodernism

Since starting this “project” (obsession would be a better word tbh lol) I’ve become fascinated by churches, as there are many uncovered modernist ones, even in the smallest places. Always surprising. This one is probably my new favourite cause it is truly, gloriously #1960s #lodeaerts #jozefdeconinck

Aren’t these the most joyous and fun stairs you’ve ever seen?! 🥰 Inspired by music notes #louisgeirnaert #1960s #belgianmodernism
