Bruxelles –The Devlieger kitchen

Lionel Devlieger (to the left) is part of Rotor , an association from Brussels creating objects, furniture and even buildings with re-useable waste or “left-overs” from companies. Look for instance this kitchen:

It was made out of laser-cut plywood, an industrial leftover from a company specialized in die-cutting cardboard for the packaging of luxury-goods. Cool mmh?

Devlieger also made a nice table for the exhibition of Manon to the Frankfurter Kunstverein (see previous post) out of the marble cladding for the
Library of Human Science of the main Brussels University (Université Libre de Bruxelles), which begun to fall apart less than 15 years after its construction (Belgian architecture has to maintain its reputation):

Lionel accidentally also wrote a –fascinating — dissertation at the Ghent university called “on the Birth of Artefacts. Benedetto Varchi and the Naturalizing Approach to the Arts in Ducal Florence”. Currently, the only way to read it is to ask him to send you an e-copy.
