In the Brussels region, this former paper mill dating from the 19th century has been transformed into a workshop and meeting place for around thirty artisans.
In Brussels, Lionel Jadot, designer and architect, has rehabilitated an abandoned building with an area of 6000 square meters to make it a workplace for artists.
Today 32 workshops, called Zaventem Ateliers, bring together different creative worlds.
This place of creation, it is Lionel who is at the origin: “It’s a building that I really came across by chance. I fell completely in love with the place, and the idea was to immediately transform this place into a great creative hub.“
From this abandoned building, Lionel decided to keep as many elements as possible: “There are 400 light fixtures that we salvaged from an office building, we put them back here.
This little stool brings together all the waste from Zaventem Ateliers. So whether it’s pieces of leather, metal, brass, wood, salt, plastic…”
The next step for Lionel is to move Zaventem Ateliers to Milan for Design Week, hoping to develop the project there.
