Side project

Design Art Night is an inspirational platform founded by Veerle Verbakel and Maarten Statius Muller in 2019 in cooperation with design fair Collectible (Brussels) and Fosbury & Sons (Belgium). The main objective is the supportive sharing of contemporary design art during uplifting evenings with personal lectures and a staged scene by talented design artists. The seventh edition was in 2024. Several editions were also in cooperation with Flanders DC for Design (Contemporary Design Market, since 2023: For The Now).
