For the 10th anniversary of Bright Brussels Festival, PATRIZIA presents The Louise: reborn in light through a creation by magic monkey. This poetic nighttime identity transforms the iconic avenue Louise office tower, celebrating its transformation by PATRIZIA through precision, restraint and sustainability. A refined crown of ultra‑efficient lighting reveals the building’s architecture rather than overpowering it – an elegant, low‑impact intervention that reconnects heritage and innovation in harmony with the rhythm of Brussels’ skyline.
In February, the Bright Brussels Festival will set the heart of our capital aglow. The P&V Group, whose tower has been a proud part of the Brussels skyline for decades, is joining this enchanting trail of lights with "From the Heart". On the building’s facade, a giant heart pulses to reflect our collective values: proximity, solidarity, humanity. Each luminous heartbeat will symbolise the power of collective strength and send a shining signal that, for one weekend, invites us to forge lasting bonds and look towards the future together.
Installed in 2005 on the cooling tower of Drogenbos’ power plant, this light installation has since become an iconic landmark in the south of Brussels. Regularly updated, it serves as a familiar point of reference in the landscape for local residents and passers-by. The tower is fitted with more than 100,000 individual LEDs across a surface of 17,000m², visible all around. Each animation is conceived as a visual and aesthetic performance. Operated by ENGIE, the power plant plays a key role in ensuring the flexibility of the Belgian electricity grid and in supporting the development of renewable energy. Soon, it will also host one of the country’s largest battery farms, making it a true hub of flexibility.
The Deutsche Bank headquarters on avenue Marnix transform into a beautiful visual harp designed by local lighting designers magic monkey, who will strum its many luminous strings in honour of the 10th anniversary of Bright Brussels Festival.
To mark the 10th anniversary of Bright Brussels Festival, AXA will be bathing its iconic headquarters in Brussels in light. Fully reimagined, this architectural ensemble creates a subtle dialogue between restored heritage and confident modernity. Designed by architectural practice A2R2 and enhanced by local studio magic monkey, the lighting concept is fully embedded within the architecture, reinforcing its structural language without dominating it. A bespoke luminous envelope follows the aluminium exo-structure, revealing depth, transparency and rhythmic lighting effects that celebrate urban innovation.
