The Atelier Dinner
Where brass is machined and polished by day, a long candlelit table stood on 15 October. For one evening, our workshop in Wevelgem became a place to gather, where raw craftsmanship met refined design.
Architects and interior architects were welcomed in our showroom. There, they could not only see the collections but also hold them: the weight of solid brass is something you only truly feel in your hand.
Then the doors of the workshop opened. Since 1942, we have made all of our hardware in Wevelgem, and our guests followed that journey from raw material to finished handle. Precision machines stand alongside workbenches where polishing and varnishing are still done by hand, by the people who give every piece its character.
Among the machines, a long table was set, lit by dozens of candles in brass candleholders. Even the knife rests were designed especially for the evening. In the half-light of the workshop, conversations about architecture, materials and design carried on late into the night.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this evening so special.
Would you like to discover our workshop for yourself? You are warmly welcome for a personal visit.
