Delvaux, the oldest luxury leather goods house in the world, founded in Belgium in 1829, has inaugurated a new store in the heart of Brussels: "Le 27". Housed in a majestic Mansion on Boulevard de Waterloo, a high-end luxury shopping area, "Le 27" is much more than a boutique: it is a unique environment, combining the savoirfaire of the Delvaux collections with the beauty of the greatest items of Belgian design, paintings and ceramics, giving life to an art gallery in continuous evolution.
An entrance arcade welcomes visitors into what was once an imposing private villa. Set out on two floors, the store has retained its original structure, with the walls enriched with nineteenth-century mouldings, mirrors, medallions and frescoes that once decorated the reception rooms. The grand staircase at the entrance leads to the spacious upper floor which is immersed in surreal light projected through the windows of the Art Deco skylight. Through a refined interaction of modular elements that combine geometric rigour and trompe-l'oeil supports, the display fittings organise, rationalise and embellish the presentation of bags and accessories.
The wall displays are conceived as abstract paintings whose design is a homage to Mondrian's De Stijl artistic movement. The furnishings are enriched by emblematic Belgian design pieces created by the greatest designers of the twentieth century: Jules Wabbes, Pieter de Bruyne, Renaat Braem, Emiel Verannema: all works signed in limited editions, unique and rare, worthy of a museum collection. There is also room for pieces by contemporary Belgian designers (Nathalie Dewez, Alain Berteau and Ben Storms) and international designers, such as the Italian Gino Sarfatti: master of lighting design. The globular shapes recall those of the Atomium, Belgium's iconic pavilion at the 1958 World Fair in Brussels. Source by Delvaux.
