The participation of Augusta at Collectible will enable the gallery to give visibility to Belgian sustainable design - our speciality - on the international scene. We have chosen to highlight the work of six designers who create using reused or bio-based materials:

Designers: La GADOUE Atelier | Roxane Lahidji | Louise Richard | Didier Henry & Ariane van Dievoet

Augusta presents Chromatic array by Frédérique Hoet-Segers (1929-2022). For more than sixty years, this belgian architect and artist created using scraps of leather that she transformed and assembled by using a technique she developed. Combining strips of leather allowed her to create abstract, geometric compositions made up of lines, curves and dotted lines. Augusta is exhibiting and selling a selection of wall pieces, objects and jewellery.

States of matter focuses on materials and textures : the density of wool meeting the hypnotic appearance of salt, the robustness of brass and stone combined contrasting with the transparency of linen. Each of the designers presented focuses on one or two materials, their specific features, their imperfections and their reaction to fire or water to create unique works.

The common thread is an approach to design based on the transformation of these materials: natural materials, offcuts and damaged products are cut up, combined or melted to create new materials. All potential solutions for introducing more sustainable and environmentally-friendly production processes in the world of design.
