Got to pay iconic mid century illustrator Lie (Lieve Schatteman) a visit, who turned out to be living in a wonderful #1960s home. Architect supposed to be a Miel François (if I understood well). If anyone has more info it would be greatly appreciated! #belgianmodernism

I somehow never shared these on here, or the fact that I do location scouting at all. Better late than never: @juttu_official fall 2020 campaign for which I provided the location. In need of a modernist backdrop for your campaign? Get in touch! #locationscouting #belgianmodernism

A couple of weeks ago I returned to what has probably been my most favourite visit ever. Woning Leerschool by #willyvandermeeren, with the wonderful original owner still inhabiting it. He told me he already owned all this furniture so #willyvandermeeren couldn’t design built-ins as he normally would. It makes for a very personal home. It made me notice new details, like this beautiful #isamukenmochi (if I remember well, correct me if I’m wrong) chair. And of course, the light never disappoints in this place. More picture to come in the coming days #1960s #belgianmodernism
