belgisch design belge
A pop-up laboratory where the successive presentations that are sometimes subjective and never exhaustive will be representative of Belgian design. Pieces from different eras, materials, statuses and natures build side by side a history of design in Belgium. For this first selection, objects from the plastic design collection – the particularity of our institution – interact with pieces of modern and contemporary design from the King Baudouin Foundation.

The Atomium. From Symbol to Icon
The exhibition 'The Atomium: from symbol to icon' is spread over 2 floors and the panorama. It tells the history of this pavillion of more than 50 years old. It has become the symbol of the city of Brussels and of Belgium.
The exhibition not only tells the story of the construction of the building and of Expo 58 but also of its decline at the end of the '90's before its renovation. And of its 'second ' life since 2006.
On 17th April 1958, the last universal world fair organised by Belgium was inaugurated on the Heysel site in Brussels.
A hugely colourful event, spreading a message full of boundless optimism, reflecting a society characterised by confidence in its future, Expo 58 inspires fond memories in our collective consciousness.
Using archived documents, photographs, souvenirs and videos from the era as well as countless models, this exhibition will take visitors on a journey back in time to this unforgettable, breathtaking event.
In the panorama the visitor gets extensive information about the location of Brussels' buildings and districts. Certain European and world cities are situated as well so the visitor can orientate himself. Finally he can compare images of Expo 58 with what he can see from the panorama today.
For some, this is the perfect opportunity to rediscover this enchanting experience; for others, who know nothing about Expo 58 and its passion for progress, this is a chance to learn about this magical time which still infuses the Atomium with its energy.
Symbol and « brand » of Expo 58, the star of Lucien De Rouck is unavoidable.
Lucien De Roeck (Belgium 1915-2002) dedicated his life to design,typographie and teaching. In 1954 he won the design competition designing the logo and poster for the Worldfair in Brussels that would take place in 1958.
The Expo-star, an elegant, asymmetric star, still is a recognizable symbol. The five rays represent the five continents, carrying out the humanistic message to the entire world. On the right side you can see a globe and the date. In the center of the star one can recognize an image of the Brussels city hall.
In 1958 this star was everywhere, on posters, streetcars, outfits of the hostesses, souvenirs...

Rotonde
A circular structure of light and an original sound creation give the Atomium a new presence as night falls.
ROTONDE is a permanent light and sound installation situated around the lower dome of the Atomium.
A circular structure of LED lines follows the architecture of the rotunda, while a down-lighting system projects vertical beams toward the ground, structuring the space in a full 360-degree experience.
The installation unfolds in a cycle of approximately twenty minutes. Light movements, vertical descents and variations in intensity are fully synchronized with an original sound composition, composed of subtle rhythms, spatial textures and finely crafted transitions.
Certain sequences are deliberately minimal, almost motionless; others introduce greater movement and contrast. The programming is designed to evolve calmly throughout the evening, establishing a continuous and lasting presence.
The project is conceived as a spatial composition, developed specifically for this part of the Atomium and for the visitors’ journey. Light structures the space, highlights the building’s lines and amplifies its nighttime presence, offering a new way of experiencing the architecture through movement and rhythm.
The installation is designed to accompany the life of the Atomium every evening. It gives the monument a nocturnal identity, presenting it as a place that remains active, visible and inhabited after dark.
It forms part of a broader ambition to animate architectural heritage through contemporary digital creation.
Designed for a minimum duration of twelve months, the installation offers a contemporary interpretation of the Atomium while placing its architecture at the very center of the experience.

Val Saint-Lambert & Design
In 1826, François Kemlin and Auguste Lelièvre founded the public limited company ‘Verreries et Établissements du Val Saint-Lambert’ in Seraing. The glassworks quickly benefited from considerable investment, which promoted technical progress, the growth of exports and the promotion of a young national industry. In 1879, they became Cristalleries du Val Saint-Lambert, a key player that successively bought up several glassworks and, between 1880 and 1914, enjoyed a real golden age: more than 5,000 workers, outlets all over the world and a reputation consolidated by prestigious participations in the World’s Fairs, from 1894 in Antwerp to 1925 in Paris. Throughout its existence, Val Saint-Lambert has successfully reinvented itself, navigating the Art Nouveau era, the 1930s and the post-war period by collaborating with renowned artists and designers: Léon Ledru (1855–1926), the Muller brothers (Henri Muller, 1868–1936; Désiré Muller, 1877–1952; Eugène Muller, 1883–1914), Charles Graffart (1893–1967), René Delvenne (1901–1968), Yan Zoritchak (born in 1944) and Philippe Starck (born in 1949).
In 2026, Cristalleries will celebrate its bicentenary. To mark this anniversary, the Design Museum Brussels is joining forces with several museums and scientific institutions to highlight this jewel of Belgian industrial heritage and creativity. In collaboration with the Charleroi Glass Museum and curated by Catherine Thomas and Anne Vanlatum, the exhibition Val Saint-Lambert & Design at the Design Museum Brussels is dedicated to the creative output of Val Saint-Lambert from the 1958 World’s Fair to the early 2000s, a period that witnessed an unprecedented creative renewal. It embodies Val Saint-Lambert’s desire to preserve craftsmanship while bringing it into the modern era and engaging in constant dialogue with design. In line with the American Studio Glass movement, it opened its doors to international artists and designers who, alongside the crystal factory’s master glassmakers, experimented with new forms and pushed the boundaries of creation. Crystal, a material that symbolises artisanal excellence, became the medium for bold creations, combining traditional know-how with aesthetic innovations. Created in 1989 under the impetus of director Patrick Depuydt, the Crystal Studio marked a decisive step in the history of Val Saint-Lambert.
Through this joint exhibition, the Design Museum Brussels and the Charleroi Glass Museum invite their visitors to discover the Crystal Studio, a founding chapter in the contemporary history of glass, reflecting the dynamism, the innovation and the international influence of the Cristalleries du Val Saint-Lambert.

Identita - The Story of Czech Graphic Design
From 16 October 2026 to 7 March 2027, the Design Museum Brussels presents Identita – The Story of Czech Graphic Design, an exhibition dedicated to more than a century of graphic design in the Czech Republic. The exhibition explores the role of graphic design in shaping the country’s identity and bears witness to the profound political, social and cultural changes that have marked its history.
Located in Brussels, the capital of Belgium and home to the main institutions of the European Union, the Design Museum Brussels also aims to serve as a showcase for European creativity and the diversity of its design cultures. With this in mind, the museum regularly hosts temporary exhibitions that offer a particular European country’s perspective on its history and design culture. Identita is part of this initiative, inviting visitors to Design Museum Brussels to discover the history and distinctive characteristics of Czech graphic design, while placing them within a broader European context.
Graphic design plays an important role in the way a country presents itself and shapes its identity. Posters, books, magazines, logos and national symbols not only tell the story of their time, but also reflect the social developments of their era. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the development of graphic design in the Czech Republic, and, prior to 1993, in Czechoslovakia, has therefore been closely linked to the country’s turbulent history. The 20th century brought profound changes, from the establishment of an independent state and two world wars to the succession of two totalitarian regimes. After 1989, society and the economy underwent a fundamental transformation, with the transition from a socialist planned economy to a market economy. All of these developments were reflected in the country’s graphic culture.
Through original works and reproductions, the exhibition introduces visitors to some of the most striking examples of Czech graphic design and to the designers behind them. Each work is presented within its cultural, historical and political context. This makes it possible to see how graphic design and society have influenced one another over the years.
Identita at the Design Museum Brussels brings this story to a new audience, offering visitors the opportunity to discover how Czech graphic design evolved over the course of nearly a century in dialogue with politics, technology, everyday life and cultural trends. The exhibition is curated by Filip Blažek and Linda Kudrnovská, in collaboration with curator David Korecký and the team at the Design Museum Brussels for the Brussels presentation.
The touring exhibition Identita is a joint project of the Typo association, Mowshe studio, the Museum of Literature and the network of Czech Centres. The graphic design was created by Marvil studio. The architectural design was developed by Adam Blažek, Jan Kloss and Matěj Činčera of studio Okolo.

Nimbus
Nimbus is a new artwork created by Visual System to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Atomium’s renovation. It extends the unique dialogue the collective has been cultivating for several years with this iconic architectural landmark and with its audiences from all over the world.
The work plays with and disrupts geometry: the monument’s original tubes are reconfigured into gigantic columns that give rise to a living, inhabited space, while the building’s characteristic mirrored spheres multiply across the surfaces, unsettling spatial and temporal references.
Nimbus shapes a suspended environment in which light and sound, carried by an original musical composition by Thomas Vaquié, form a vibrating halo, a protective sphere. The audience engages in dialogue with an evolving artwork, creating a singular, plural and universal experience through movement and individual sensibility.
In this way, Nimbus celebrates the architecture of the Atomium, revealing a monument in perpetual transformation, where diversity, contemplation and the collective imagination converge.
Visual System is a multidisciplinary artists’ collective that, since 2007, has been exploring the connections between creative techniques and visual perception.

Supply Chain
Supply Chain combines mirrors, mobile LED screens, light beams and sound installations to create a choreography of light and reflections. The artwork is composed of hybrid modules installed on structures derived from industrial assembly tables, and is complemented by LED tubes, a central luminous circle and graphic matrices. It transforms the space while evoking the production and supply chains that underpin contemporary technologies.
Through this poetic and dynamic staging, the work reveals the connections between material, industry and the digital realm, inviting audiences to experience an immediate sensory immersion while questioning the invisible infrastructures that shape our technological societies.

The European Hydrogen Week 2026
THE FAST TRACK TO THE FUTURE
Hydrogen is a key player in the fight to curb climate change, due to its multiple end-uses and scope within the energy system, as recognised already by the EU Hydrogen Strategy and by the EU Green Deal.
With the latest political developments, namely the decreasing affordability of energy, availability of raw materials and the need to boost the sustainable competitiveness of the European industry, it has acquired an even more central role, presenting itself simultaneously as an ally of decarbonisation, growth, and autonomy for Europe.
Despite the challenges ahead, this is a massive opportunity to develop a strong European hydrogen supply chain, break free of fossil fuels, and deliver the ambitious climate goals required to keep the planet’s temperature increase under 1.5C.
Join the week of all-things hydrogen and play your part in this journey!

Brussels Furnitures Fair 2026
Since 1937, this Brussels trade fair has been linking furniture manufacturers to the furniture trade. First nationally, and later internationally. We connect to the furniture trade in Belgium and other West European countries such as the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, Great Britain, Switzerland, Germany and Scandinavia. Exhibitors from Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and other European countries present their latest collections here over a total surface area of 66,000 m².
The starting point in all this is the commercial value on the shop floor. Visitors and exhibitors value the businesslike, yet convivial atmosphere at the fair. Indeed, creating an environment in which to stage enjoyable meetings and do business with people from the sector is the Brussels Furniture Fair’s greatest strength.
Segments
Its division into segments makes the fair easy for visitors to navigate, thus saving both time and effort. Each segment is targeted at a specific part of the furniture trade, from contemporary pieces to bedroom comfort. An efficient trade fair visit is guaranteed. And if you save time, you can discover more!
Exhibitors
The range on show at the Brussels Furniture Fair is geared to the needs of the European furniture trade. You’ll find collections in Brussels that are sure to give your sales a lift. The focus of the fair’s high-quality, hugely diverse and representative selection is on commercial value on the shop floor. There’s a representative mix of the Belgian furniture industry, plus a select offering from leading European manufacturers in the broad middle segment.
Contract
More and more of the exhibitors at the Brussels Furniture Fair are also turning their attention to the contract market or are offering tailor-made products. So a visit to the fair is definitely worthwhile for contract specialists too! On a specially adapted plan of the fair the exhibitors who may be of interest are marked with a special logo. The same logo also appears on the name-boards at the stands, which makes it absolutely clear who is professionally engaged in the contract market. And you can of course also find these exhibitors by using the search function in the list of exhibitors. This extra efficiency makes a visit to the fair even more attractive and enables you, the project organiser, to see the wood through the trees.

Shaping the Possible. Pierre Lallemand, designer
The Design Museum Brussels presents a unique exhibition dedicated to Pierre Lallemand, an architect and designer from the contemporary Belgian scene. Through a rich and well-documented exhibition route, visitors are invited to discover more than thirty years of creative work at the crossroads of design and architecture.
Preparatory drawings, models, prototypes, objects, furniture, and experimental pieces mark the exhibition and reveal the singular universe of a creator for whom each project is a form of research in itself. The exhibition highlights a body of work in which technical rigour is in constant dialogue with formal freedom, as well as with a critical reflection on our built environment.
Trained in Brussels at the end of the 1970s, Pierre Lallemand developed an early, highly personal approach to design, shaped by experimentation, attention to detail, and a direct relationship with manufacturing. The first part of the exhibition looks back at his beginnings on the Brussels scene of the 1980s, notably through his first lighting designs shown at Galerie Théorème. These pieces already demonstrate an interest in hybrid objects, oscillating between function and sculptural expression.
The exhibition then explores the international dimension of his career. Visitors discover how his experiences in Italy, within the Milan-based firm BBPR, and later in the United States working with César Pelli, profoundly influenced his way of thinking about space, from furniture to architecture, from object to city. This global vision is reflected in the wide variety of projects presented: bicycles, sailboats, sculptures, furniture and architectural studies.
Throughout the exhibition, a coherent and committed approach emerges, in which each work is conceived as an act of visual thinking. For Pierre Lallemand, designing means questioning form, use, and the poetic dimension of the objects that surround us.
The Design Museum Brussels offers an immersive journey into a body of work in constant motion, shaped by the technical, urban, and cultural challenges of our time, and invites visitors to (re)discover design as an open, experimental field, deeply connected to the way we inhabit the world.
