In collaboration with

LOUIS LUYTEN
Exhibition designer based in Brussels.
We design narrative spaces for Art and Knowledge exhibitions.

Through their immersive dimension and the diversity of media, exhibitions are formidable vectors of knowledge, places of questioning and emotions. His work consists of transposing the story into a unique exhibition route that truly serves the content. Each project is the result of a rich team collaboration for which we provide the artistic and technical direction.

We are specialised in temporary and travelling exhibitions, arts and knowledge.
