Many co-working concepts claim to make you feel at home; however, often, this remains an empty marketing message that isn’t backed up by space realities. Fosbury & Sons is a co-working brand that really does deliver on that promise.

After establishing their first Antwerp location, the three founders Serge Hannecart, Stijn Geeraets, and Maarten Van Gool, set their eyes on a modernist building in Brussels. The 1970’s building established the Italian-born architect Constantin Brodzki as one of Belgium’s most innovative architects. This office building’s architecture is unlike anything we have seen before with its oval-shaped windows and amber-tinted glazing.

The interiors for this Fosbury & Sons location are designed by interiors studio Going East. Michiel Mertens and Anaïs Torfs selected their palette based on the materials already present in the original design by Brodzki: the greys of the speckled concrete, the golden tones of the wood floors, and the cherry wood of cabinets. The result is an amazing balance between cool and warm materials. All furnishings have been handpicked by the designers, sourced internationally, and with the mindset of designing a home.

Issue 4: North of Spain

It is no secret that Paris has been the capital of fashion since the seventeenth century. The city has been the playground for prestigious designers and couture brands like Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent. Today the Parisian style is not only an aesthetic choice but a philosophy. It embraces elegance, timelessness, and slow responsible fashion. The focus is on the cut and the quality of the materials. No fluff or excessiveness with a less is more approach. And what better way to understand Parisian fashion than to visit a museum dedicated to it.

For more than 70 years, the house has been crafting magical couture pieces in their atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Christian Dior has made this location a legendary address since the first collection in 1947. Behind its new flagship, the House of Dior inaugurates a permanent exhibition in an extraordinary gallery, independently of its boutique. Mr. Dior wanted to be an architect; the building and the museum pay him a beautiful tribute today.

The staging is astonishing. A circular staircase at the entrance showcases 452 dresses and 1,422 accessories, all 3D printed. Bags, shoes, perfumes, and small objects: so many testimonies of the Dior style materialized to elaborate this Diorama.
